Foster care and adoption can be rewarding ways to become parents. But the system itself seems almost rigged for failure, confusion, fraud, and disappointment. This book takes readers on an insider’s tour of the system, its successes and failures, and the joys adoption can bring through the real stories of those involved on all sides.

The Children Money Can Buy

As someone who is getting my bachelors in social work, this book gave me a lot to think about. It also gave me a lot to think about when it comes to adoption, something I have wanted for many years (though wont happen for many years since I'm only 25 and unmarried...100% single actually lol). I thought the stories were interesting and informative, though at times a bit too long. It actually took me 3 months to read this book, that's never happened before, but I enjoyed it every time I picked it up and am glad I took my time with it. I feel this is a good book to read if you are looking to get into social work with children (whether through foster care or adoption agencies). This is of course only one woman's experience, so I will be looking into more books on this topic to get a well rounded view of these topics.
