Adopting a child is an extraordinarily important and sometimes difficult decision. In their new authoritative guide, “The ABA Consumer Guide to Adopting a Child,” adoption experts Robert A. Kasky and Jeffrey A. Kasky provide the information needed to navigate the process and successfully adopt a child.

This new book discusses the various types of adoptions, alerts readers to adoption scams and helps readers in selecting a reputable attorney or adoption agency. By detailing what’s needed to approach the process with confidence and make good decisions every step of the way, the book will serve as an invaluable tool for anyone thinking about an adoption. Critical topics include:

• The rights of the birth mother, birth father and the issues involved in an open versus a closed adoption.
• The costs associated with adoption.
• Real-life situations that exemplify key points of the adoption process.

The authors, both of South Florida, are lawyers by training and authors of the Amazon bestseller “99 Things You Wish You Knew before Choosing Adoption.” Robert completed his first adoption in 1973 and has been involved in about 2,000 adoptions since then. Jeffrey completed his last adoption in November 2015 and is now president of The Autism Channel Inc.
