Books About Social Policy and Infant Adoption
Remember, the low status of women affects children as well.
The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.

Adoption Industry Information
Read this before your daughter tells you "I'm pregnant".
Every decade or so the adoption businesses come up with new tactics to try to get more healthy newborn babies for adoption customers. In the past, middle-class white women who were single and became pregnant were "shamed" (terrorized) and kicked out of their parents homes. People refused to hire them or to rent them an apartment so many of them wound up interred as "inmates" in maternity "homes". In modern times, pregnant women are being offered "open" adoption in an attempt to lure them into surrendering parental rights.

What authors reveal about the baby trade
Does it make sense for a society to torment single women who are pregnant? Is the child who is separated from family and sold really "better off" as the brokers claim? Does the mother "just forget" and "go on with her life"?

The "Cons" of Open Adoption Agencies
How "professional" con artists separate family members to get babies for adopters
- They claim that people wanting to get a baby are "families" and "parents" even though they may be a single person or a couple who is childless or gay.
- They claim that a baby's true family is "just birth" or "just biological", disrespecting the child's relatives.
- They say it's "selfish" for people to take responsibility for and raise their own children.
- They claim what they are arranging are "adoptions" even though the newborn baby they are selling is not an orphan.
- They claim the mother/father/siblings will get pictures or continued contact with their relative.
"Dear Birthmother" Letters and Adoption Advertising
They want your baby, but they don't want you
Adoption agencies sometimes claim they are "offering open adoption to bring more birthmothers to adoption". They offer naive mothers pictures, letters and sometimes continued contact, knowing they do not need to follow through on any of it. Adoptive "parents" want a baby to adopt but they don't want you.
