Relinquished
The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood
by Gretchen Sisson


QUICK SUMMARY
Relinquished reveals adoption to be more of a path forced tot take when abortion is inaccessible or for whom parenthood is untenable. You'll read stories from relinquishing mothers about the Americans (not so) shocking refusal to care for families at the most basic level. The stories really give an insight on the impact adoption has on everyone involved.

FINAL THOUGHTS
When you think about adoption, what's the first thing that comes to mind.?

This book was shocking and heart breaking, I could only handle so much at a time because there is a lot of information to take in and at the end of each chapter you hear stories from mothers and sometimes you can't help but sit there with your thoughts. This book just shows how much of a way America has to go to provide the basic care to families, and how their hands are forced when it comes to adoption in quite a few cases. Highly recommend this book.
