Standards For Adoption Exchanges
In
order to promote greater uniformity of exchange service delivery, define
common terminology and data to be collected, the AEA has developed standards
for service. The standards presented in this book are based on a review
of the policies and procedures of exchanges in the United States. They
represent the most frequently used policies and procedures. Final formulation
of the standards has evolved from comments by AEA members, extensive
discussion of principles and issues by the AEA board and the AEA standards
committee. Development of the standards provided an opportunity for
exchange staff to examine their practice, to define objectives, to clarify
concepts and to affirm convictions about achieving permanency for children.
Copies Available $5.00/ea.
How to Make Adoption an Affordable Option
This
is for people who would like to consider adoption but are reluctant
because they believe that the process is too expensive. It is also for
families who -- caught up in the emotions of adopting -- may not have
given serious thought to some of the less obvious financial aspects
of adoption. In this booklet, you'll find out about expenses common
to most adoptions, as well as those that are unique to the adoption
of waiting children, to independent adoptions, and to international
adoptions. You'll also learn about financial assistance and tax breaks
available to adoptive parents.
If you are thinking seriously of adopting, don't let the myths about the costs deter you. On the other hand, don't let your emotions blind you to the real costs. By careful financial planning, you can make adoption an affordable option for your family and provide a nurturing environment for a child. All You pay is Postage Costs!
