Relinquished reveals adoption to be a path of constrained choice for those for whom abortion is inaccessible, or for whom parenthood is untenable. The stories of relinquishing mothers are stories about our country's refusal to care for families at the most basic level, and to instead embrace an individual, private solution to a large-scale, social problem. With the recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization revoking abortion protections and the upcoming decision in Brackeen v. Haaland likely to revoke the Indian Child Welfare Act, we are in a political moment in which adoption is, increasingly, being revealed as an institution devoted to separating families and policing parenthood under the guise of feel-good family-building. Rooted in a long-term study, Relinquished is an analysis of hundreds of in-depth interviews with American motherswho placed their children for domestic adoption. The voices of these women are powerful and heartrending; they deserve to be heard as a response to this moment"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Adoption $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Motherhood $z United States. 941 $a 12 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240606010647.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20240503011132.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020906.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045415.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012804.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012727.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011918.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011759.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010443.0 952 $l SNPC104 $d 20240227115238.0 $m SNPC104 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010932.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F7319346BCE111EEA22CC97A4BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
