Summary: New Zealand has an unusually strong tradition of adoption, and thousands of New Zealanders have been affected by the practice. In the postwar period closed adoptions were commonplace, but in more recent times open adoptions have become the norm. The authors have interviewed a wide range of people affected by adoption, and their stories are told here in their own words. Thirty-two personal stories are included, covering birth parents, adopted persons, adoptive parents and families. Also included is a summary of the New Zealand adoption law, plus information on finding birth parents, finding an adopted child, how to place a child for adoption, and how to adopt a child.
