Title: Adoption in Japan
Description: "Adoption in Japan looks at how agencies have responded to the challenge of placing children in special adoptions. Through interviews with parents and agency directors, it examines how parents are selected and matched with children, and compares the effectiveness of tacit bargaining and trial placements in helping to find homes for children in need. Drawing on empirical source material gathered since the late 1980s, the book questions whether adoption agencies should be given the freedom to create their own policies or whether tighter regulation is needed through the introduction of a centralized policy."--Jacket.
