商品簡介
Expanded and reissued to take advantage of growing public discontent with, and investigation of, Catholic Church practices in Ireland, the second edition of this volume on questionable and forced adoption practices during the 1950s sheds light on questionable church and state policies during the mid to late twentieth century. Telling the forgotten story of Irish babies, taken from young mothers in the care of church institutions and sent to adoptive families in America, the work exposes the coercive and sometimes outright fraudulent processes involved in the taking of children, and the negligent behavior of church leaders in the selection and vetting of prospective adoptive parents. Milotte is a former senior reporter for RTE. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
