Well, look what's up for preorder. 👀 bookshop.org/p/books/relinq…

What does adoption have to do with poverty and inequality in the US? Everything.

Nearly sprained my finger, I pre-ordered this so fast! #adoption 📚 #TBR

Y’all I’m 2/3 of the way through Gretchen Sisson’s book and it’s an absolute must read. 10/10 would totally recommend.

Books are here. This page is my favorite.

Thank you DAME Magazine for sharing this excerpt from ‘Relinquished’ on the history of adoption and family separation. damemagazine.com/2024/02/15/why…

Thank you, Julia!

Today’s the day! ‘RELINQUISHED’ is available from @stmartinspress. Fourteen years after beginning this project, I’m so excited to share it with the world. I hope you’ll pick up a copy today, and I can’t wait to hear what you think. bookshop.org/p/books/relinq…

It was so wonderful to meet you in person, Sandra. Thank you for being there. 💜

"Adoption experts, including academics, adoptees and a birth mother, told Hearst Newspapers the campaign’s fundamental message paints a misleading picture & oversimplifies what is a complex, traumatic experience for mothers who relinquish their child." houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: You can love an adopted person (even in your own family) and still be critical of adoption as a system, and want to envision what abolition means. In fact, it’s often because of one’s love for that person that you do.

Tomorrow afternoon, my Seattle book talk with Angela Tucker will be on BookTV on C-SPAN2 CSPAN. I really enjoyed this conversation with Angela! Many thanks to her for joining me.
