Not all infertile couples decide to try to form a family by adoption.  When they do, it becomes important to understand the psychological impact of the infertility upon the couple and their relationship with each other, and upon their motivation for adoption and their expectations of and attitudes to the adopted child.  The implications of infertility are thought to be of great importance in adoption, yet we remain largely in the dark concerning them.

The material for this book was drawn from a longitudinal study, 'Risk Factors in Adoption', which was funded by the Scottish Home and Health Department (Brebner, 1982).  In this book we examine in some detail the impact of infertility upon couples wishing to adopt, and consider the implications for adoption practice.
