American Baby: A Mother, A Child and the Shadow History of Adoption, by Gabrielle Glaser: Available 1/26/21.
American Baby: A Mother, A Child, and the Shadow History of Adoption by journalist, and best-selling author, Gabrielle Glaser was released on January 26, 2021. Gabrielle is a past American Adoption Congress (AAC) conference speaker, and in 2018, wrote the New York Times piece, Don’t Keep Adopted People in the Dark.
In the spring and summer of 2018, AAC National Legislative Chair Tim Monti-Wohlpart and Secretary Shawna Hodgson discovered major scientific research -- extending beyond the twin-and-triplets studies -- conducted on surrendered children. They collaborated with Gabrielle, and together worked to reveal sinister federal involvement and scientific racism toward relinquished infants throughout the New York area for decades after World War II.
“Claiming to be acting in the best interests of all, the adoption business was founded on secrecy and lies. American Baby lays out how a lucrative and exploitative industry removed children from their birth mothers and placed them with hopeful families, fabricating stories about infants' origins and destinations, then closing the door firmly between the parties forever. Adoption agencies and other organizations that purported to help pregnant women struck unethical deals with doctors and researchers for pseudoscientific "assessments," and shamed millions of young women into surrendering their children.”
