Abstract: From Intercountry Adoption to Global Surrogacy delivers some powerful insights into the exploitation of children and women in what is inarguably a global market place. Throughout, Karen Smith Rotabi and Nicole Bromfield, who are well qualified to write this book, challenge poor practices while remaining respectful to all stakeholders and without resorting to unnecessary sentimentality. The subject is broad and the implications of both intercountry adoption and global surrogacy are far reaching. The authors explore the grey areas of these practices with delicacy, while maintaining a strong focus on human rights and ethical practices. The content is well supported by contemporary research and the book offers new insights, as well as covering known territory.
