American Baby: A Mother, a Child, and the Secret History of Adoption

byGabrielle Glaser

Gabrielle Glaser uses American Baby to investigate a Mother, a Child, and the Secret History of Adoption through a carefully framed science narrative. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of family & relationships and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Together, these elements make American Baby an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
