It sounds great to me. For one thing, I'm interested in adoption (see my story "White Swans" about a Chinese adoption in In an Uncharted Country). But also, what Malone is talking about brings another element to the discussion, and even advocates of adoption disagree. The book looks like a fascinating read.
