- Summary:
-
This book explores the impact of adoptions on relinquishing mothers in the last century and the social and policy changes that have been taking place this century. Part one features the stories of relinquishing mothers from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Great Britain, and the United States. In their own words, they explain how they became pregnant, the pressures involved in their decision to adopt, the impact of this decision on their lives, and any contact with their child in adulthood. Part two considers recent changes in attitudes to adoption and unmarried motherhood, government recognition of the trauma of forced adoption practices, and how different countries manage adoptions today.
