SUMMARY:“Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of Amer
 ican Motherhood”
DESCRIPTION:"A powerful decade-long study of adoption\, Relinquished: The P
 olitics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood\, reveals the 
 grief of the American mothers for whom the choice to parent was never real.
  Adoption has always been viewed as a beloved institution for building fami
 lies\, as well as a mutually agreeable common ground in the abortion debate
 \, but what is adoption like for the women who surrender their children?\\n
 \\nOver the span of two decades\, sociologist Gretchen Sisson\, Ph.D.\, con
 ducted over one hundred in-depth interviews with women who relinquished inf
 ants for domestic adoption. She brings their stories to light in her book\,
  interweaving their intimate\, moving testimonies with historical and polit
 ical context. Sisson deftly examines the forces shaping American motherhoo
 d\, including poverty\, religion\, and politics. She strips back the feel-g
 ood guise of adoption\, exposing the coercive strategies employed by privat
 e adoption agencies and situating it within the history of family separatio
 n in the United States.\\n\\nRegistration requested to join us in person. T
