Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get the Summary of Barbara Bisantz Raymond's The Baby Thief in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "The Baby Thief" by Barbara Bisantz Raymond explores the dark history of Georgia Tann's adoption practices in Memphis. Tann, who ran the Tennessee Children's Home Society, was known for dressing children in fine clothes to make them more adoptable and was involved in the illegal sale of babies with the complicity of prominent Tennesseans. Her operation went unchallenged for 26 years until exposed as a baby seller. Tann's actions had lasting effects on the adoption institution and the lives of those affected, including siblings separated and sold to different families, and children who suffered from being taken from their birth parents. The book recounts the stories of adoptees like Peggy and Elizabeth Huber, who faced identity crises, and Barbara Davidson, who suffered sexual abuse. Raymond's research uncovers the far-reaching impact of Tann, with adoptees and their relatives across the United States searching for answers. The book also delves into the history of child care and the evolution of adoption practices, highlighting the societal shift towards secrecy in adoptions influenced by Tann's legacy. Raymond's personal connection to adoption as an adoptive parent herself adds depth to her investigation into Tann's corrupt practices and the ongoing battle for adoptees' rights to their identities.

This book was released on 2022-07-24T22:59:00Z with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Memphis orphanage I visited was very different from the one in Georgia’s story. It was long gone, replaced by a rectangular structure housing the offices of the Baptist Brotherhood. #2 It was difficult for adoptive parents to admit involvement with a criminal, and few did. Many claimed they were unaware of the desperate, futile habeas corpus suits that were reported in the local press, and of Georgia’s Home’s expulsion from the Child Welfare League of America. #3 Georgia had transformed potential adversaries into accomplices, including politicians, legislators, judges, attorneys, doctors, nurses, and social workers who scouted child victims and wrongly terminated birth parents’ rights. #4 The story of Georgia’s Home and the stolen children was largely ignored by the press. The parents of the stolen children were lucky to have been delivered into wealth, and many were emotionally attached to their new parents. But few protested this treatment.

Download or read book American Baby written by Gabrielle Glaser and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book The shocking truth about postwar adoption in America, told through the bittersweet story of one teenager, the son she was forced to relinquish, and their search to find each other. During the Baby Boom in 1960s America, women were encouraged to stay home and raise large families, but sex and childbirth were taboo subjects. Premarital sex was common, but birth control was hard to get and abortion was illegal. In 1961, sixteen-year-old Margaret Erle fell in love and became pregnant. Her enraged family sent her to a maternity home, and after she gave birth, she wasn't even allowed her to hold her own son. Social workers threatened her with jail until she signed away her parental rights. Her son vanished, his whereabouts and new identity known only to an adoption agency that would never share the slightest detail about his fate. 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 women into surrendering their children. Gabrielle Glaser dramatically demonstrates the power of the expectations and institutions that Margaret faced. Margaret went on to marry and raise a large family with David's father, but she never stopped longing for and worrying about her firstborn. She didn't know he spent the first years of his life living just a few blocks away from her; as he grew, he wondered about where he came from and why he was given up. Their tale--one they share with millions of Americans--is one of loss, love, and the search for identity. Adoption's closed records are being legally challenged in states nationwide. Open adoption is the rule today, but the identities of many who were adopted or who surrendered a child in the postwar decades are locked in sealed files. American Baby illuminates a dark time in our history and shows a path to reunion that can help heal the wounds inflicted by years of shame and secrecy.

Book Synopsis Rights of the Child by : Brian Milne
Download or read book Rights of the Child written by Brian Milne and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work reviews the progress of children’s rights 25 years since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It studies the progress of that human rights instrument as part of an ongoing process. It examines how recent past, present and future generations will benefit or suffer as part of the process in which outcomes cannot be predicted. It does not project into the future. Its emphasis is on a review of the period after 1989 and it comments on what has happened and offering guidance on how children's rights might progress. The book presents a realistic but not always critical review of two and a half decades of intensive activity in the field of children’s rights worldwide. It includes both failures and examples of good practice and positive experiences. It offers a review of progress and lack of progress in child rights and welfare in the twelve countries used as case studies in its predecessor, The Next Generation. Finally, the volume considers the impact of current geopolitical and economic realities on children’s rights in the early years of the twenty-first century. The book is a tribute to Judith Ennew and pays homage to all of the people who have contributed so much to children’s rights over the years and wishes to encourage others to take up the cause.

Download or read book Tupelo Man written by Robert Blade and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1924, George McLean, an Ole Miss sophomore and the spoiled son of a judge, attended a YMCA student mission conference whose free-thinking organizers aimed to change the world. They changed George McLean's. But not instantly. As vividly recounted in the first biography of this significant figure in Southern history, Tupelo Man: The Life and Times of a Most Peculiar Newspaper Publisher, McLean drifted through schools and jobs, always questioning authority, always searching for a way to put his restless vision into practical use. In the Depression's depths, he was fired from a teaching job at what is now Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, over his socialist ideas and labor organizing work. By 1934 he decided he had enough of working for others and that he would go into business for himself. In dirt-poor Northeast Mississippi, the Tupelo Journal was for sale, and McLean used his wife's money to buy what he called "a bankrupt newspaper from a bankrupt bank." As he struggled to keep the paper going, his Christian socialism evolved into a Christian capitalism that transformed the region. He didn't want a bigger slice of the pie for himself, he said; he wanted a bigger pie for all. But McLean (1904-1983) was far from a saint. He prayed about his temper, with little result. He was distant and aloof toward his two children--adopted through a notorious Memphis baby selling operation. His wife, whom he deeply loved in his prickly way, left him once and threatened to leave again. "I don't know why I was born with this chip on my shoulder," he told her. Tupelo Man looks at this far-from-ordinary publisher in an intimate way that offers a fascinating story and insight into our own lives and times.

Book Synopsis Denied! Failing Cordelia: Parental Love and Parental-State Theft in Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court by : Simon Cambridge
Download or read book Denied! Failing Cordelia: Parental Love and Parental-State Theft in Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court written by Simon Cambridge and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 1006 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climbing the Broken Judicial Ladder continues the author’s journey of exploring the heartbreak and loss of first adopting Cordelia with severe reactive attachment disorder (RAD) in Washington state and then of nearly losing her to the draconian and confused child welfare legal complex in Los Angeles. In this third volume of his Denied! Failing Cordelia trilogy, Cambridge climbs the broken California judicial ladder from the California Court of Appeals (Second Appellate District) based in Los Angeles to the California Supreme Court. Cambridge concludes that in appeals relating to dependency cases, the ladder is broken for parents seeking to advocate for themselves and for the true best interests of their children. Policies relating to child welfare are flawed, Cambridge argues, because of the preemptive and prejudicial response to the issues raised during the detention of children. As with his two earlier books, Cambridge explores issues connected with how best to parent his adopted daughter and advocate for her needs in the context of a dependency case. Cordelia’s reactive attachment disorder would surface throughout the judicial struggle as would the author’s own struggles with Asperger syndrome. Each would feed negatively into the overall trauma and drama of the author’s unrelenting quest to reunite his “forever family.” Cambridge believes that dependency proceedings are ill-equipped on many levels to elicit a proper understanding of RAD or of the therapeutic parenting needed to address it. Cambridge believes that adoptive parents of children with special needs need to be understood by more sympathetic social workers and by therapists trained in attachment disorders. Cambridge’s persistent efforts to reunite his “forever family” would leave him increasingly isolated as he climbs the judicial ladder. Based on his experiences, Cambridge explores areas for reform in Los Angeles dependency proceedings and evokes Shakespeare’s King Lear by arguing that social workers need to “see better” and that the Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court needs to encourage a broader understanding of the issues raised through more effective legal advocacy from assigned dependency lawyers. Cambridge argues that parents should be allowed to address the court directly. Cambridge also relates how he and his daughter have found many positive and healthy ways to heal in the years since their dependency case ended. Much trauma could have been avoided if those around them had “seen better” and had recognized the value in their dramatic and loving adoption journey.
Book Synopsis How to Get Out of the Hospital Alive by : Sheldon Paul Blau
Download or read book How to Get Out of the Hospital Alive written by Sheldon Paul Blau and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Sheldon Blau almost died after undergoing open-heart surgery—not from the surgery or heart disease, but from infectious bacteria introduced during surgery. His in-hospital experiences made him a better doctor, and inspired him to write How to Get Out of the Hospital Alive. The book describes the role of each member of the medical team, shows patients how to become active, effective members of that team, and offers concrete advice about ways to avoid the most common hospital-related errors. Ten Things You Can Do to Get Out of the Hospital Alive • Make sure all your known allergies are clearly marked on your chart, wrist band, or on a piece of paper taped above your bed. • Mark the area of your body to be operated on with a felt-tip pen. • Never eat or drink anything before surgery, even if the nurse brings you a food tray. • Tell your anesthesiologist if you're on any type of medication. • Have a reliable advocate with you as often as possible throughout your hospital stay. • Write your name prominently on a piece of paper and tape it to the wall above your bed. • Always ask the nurse to check the name and dosage of any medication he or she is about to give you. • Don't let anyone bully you. • Don't hesitate to get a second—or third—opinion. • Trust your instincts.
