Families and How to Survive Them by Robin Skynner
Particularly praiseworthy are vignettes from Skynner's practice in which he shows how a malfunctioning family system can be nudged toward better health by precipitating very small changes in behavioral styles, without excess angst or struggles with dragons.
Very helpful book for understanding the mysteries of family dynamics, how they contribute to making you what you are, and how you are passing them on.

  Infant Adoption - Adoption Encyclopedia
It is not clear how many people are actively taking steps to adopt, but for a variety of reasons, including ABORTION, birth control and the rise in single parenthood, it is clear there are insufficient numbers of adoptable infants to meet demand.
Infants who need adoptive families are placed through AGENCIES, ATTORNEYS or through other intermediaries, such as physicians or even friends of the birthmother, with the counsel of a state, county, or private social worker.
As a result, families who are insistent on adopting toddlers may opt to adopt internationally.

 Melanie Phillips’s Articles
This is because family breakdown is too often driven not by feckless fathers (who certainly exist, to the detriment of the women they betray), but by girls and women who now treat men as no more than sperm donors, walking wallets and occasional au pairs, and think they are otherwise entirely disposable.
The family, because it promotes self-reliance, is the bulwark of individual liberty against the incursions of an oppressive state.
That’s why family disintegration is so harmful to children and why the stampede to produce and bring up children without a biological father around — through artificial insemination by donor, IVF or sperm banks — spells disaster for the future.
