Adopting a child can be a journey of great
joy but the path is never without challenges. In Adopting,
Australian parents recount their experiences of local and intercountry
adoption. We share their hopes and doubts as they make their decision
to adopt a child, travel with them across the world, share their
apprehension and elation when first meeting their child, and return
home to witness their early fumbling times as a new family.
Jane Turner Goldsmith is a psychologist and
former panel member of the Australians Aiding Children Adoption
Agency in South Australia. Jane has also published a novel, Poinciana,
which was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize
for Best First Book, short stories, poetry and a novel for children.
