Adoption and the Jewish Family
by Shelley Kapnek Rosenberg (non-fiction)
Few rabbis have special training on adoption issues, yet almost 3 percent
of today's Jewish families are created by adoption. ADOPTION AND THE JEWISH
FAMILY focuses on the primary issues that confront these families, issues
that until now have never been addressed in a Jewish context.
Beginning with a chapter on Jewish laws concerning adoption, the book
examines the latest medical, psychological, social, and religious wisdom
on raising an adopted child in the Jewish community. The author conducted
over 100 interviews with those involved in the adoption process, talking
to birth parents, adoptive parents, rabbis, social workers, psychologists,
and of course, the adoptees themselves.
ADOPTION AND THE JEWISH FAMILY is an invaluable resource to those families
affected by adoption or considering it, and the book includes an up-to-date
listing of resources and organizations that can guide the Jewish adoptive
family.
Shelley Kapnek Rosenberg, an adoptive parent is a special needs consultant
in the Philadelphia Jewish community, and has conducted numerous adoption
workshops for parents and educators.
