We are reading RELINQUISHED by Gretchen Sisson this season. Pick up a copy and follow along. It couldn’t be more important. #adoption #adopteevoices #podcast #newepisode #atmom instagram.com/reel/C6ar69WSg…
I often see adoption abolition described as ameliorating or eliminating the conditions under which people are compelled to resort to relinquishment. My conception of abolition involves something more: actual abolition of the legal structure of adoption as identity falsification.
We are reading RELINQUISHED by Gretchen Sisson on the podcast @makingofmepdcst this season. Yes Magazine featured this important work in an article today. Check it out. @SarahLReinhardt @gesisson @yesmagazine #adoptee #adoption #adopteevoices yesmagazine.org/health-happine…
ADOPTION MYTH: SO MANY BABIES NEED HOMES "We have btwn 10 & 45 waiting families for every infant available. There's a huge demand for infants & almost no supply." - @gesisson, Research Sociologist braaainspodcast.com/episodes/adopt…
New episode today. Jessica. The discussion of RELINQUISHED by Gretchen Sisson continues. Make sure to listen. #adoptee #adopteevoices #podcast #newepisode buzzsprout.com/1756193/149353…
Have you read @gesisson's "Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood" yet? We are SUPER excited to have Gretchen as a Keynote Speaker on Friday, May 10th! To learn more about Gretchen & register visit affcny.org/conference.
What's the alternative to adoption? Have we tried not collectively failing people in crisis yet?
Hey, y'all. The latest episode of the podcast features our conversation with Gretchen Sisson. Find it here (but follow and subscribe to stay up to speed): adopteesunited.org/whatnext/relin…
Read this powerful relinquishee’s take on RELINQUISHED by @gesisson in @MsMagazine. "The devastating first mother narratives in the book led me to reflect on the choice this black-market “adoptee” made while standing pregnant in my birth mother’s shoes." msmagazine.com/2024/04/09/ado…
“In my research on domestic adoption, I spoke with dozens of women like Evelyn,” @gesisson writes. “Evelyn’s journey, however moving, is not representative of what research reveals about how people make decisions after being denied abortion care.” wapo.st/4aPt5pI
400 words was not nearly enough to address the oversights and oversimplications in the Post's reporting on adoption after abortion denial from last weekend, but I did my best. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
In a Q&A about her book Relinquished with @amylittlefield, @gesisson invites us to imagine a world where adoption is unnecessary. "Where are we finding spaces of care for families, for children, to keep them safe, to keep them supported?" thenation.com/article/societ…
“I think any world in which children are commodified, you cannot have ethical adoption." - @gesisson, author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood msmagazine.com/2024/04/09/ado…
Chris is amazing. RELINQUISHED is beyond!
Chris is amazing. RELINQUISHED is beyond!
I talked to dozens of Evelyns, and (for now) I’ll just say this: this article is propaganda. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…
Lots of critical adoption studies books coming out this year! RELINQUISHED by Gretchen Sisson is an important one! Read my review at washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/rel… #BookReview #adoption
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.
Always read @Tatum_Hunter_ on the reality of adoption. "@gesisson dares to imagine a different world where Americans treat adoption like the justice issue it is." washingtonpost.com/books/2024/03/…
If you're thinking about sending me an email like this, just let me promise you that I've thought about this from more than one avenue and save you the time.

@gesisson I have @thesusanito book in my cart. Waiting for my card points to accumulate. 😀
My TBR. Been buying books in the hope I will start reading. This drama watching has me in a chokehold.
When my book gets published, I am going to shout all of my Twitter peeps who keep my research alive. <3 Being an unaffiliated scholar is not always easy.
@eutics41140 @corsent I have patience today so I suggest reading Torn Apart by @DorothyERoberts to learn about the negatives & biases inherent in the child welfare system. Then read Relinquished by @gesisson to learn who is actually relinquishing children and why. Then come back here and ask questions
@gesisson The reporter, @Ms_AmberDawn, shared her article on r/Adoption earlier today and received a LOT of valuable feedback there, especially from the #AdopteeVoices there. reddit.com/r/Adoption/s/H…
@SankofaRose kicks off “Why I Write, Why I Fight” with @DorothyERoberts , Victor Sim’s, @strawburriez & @AlanDettlaff #ABAPAR2024
you either get fed up with the PhD and master out or live long enough to see yourself become the villain…
Such a great night saw @GretchenSisson at @BookPeople speak on her book RELINQUISHED, reconnected with my @aka_tx Knowledge Affiliates peeps —> Austin Dawn Marie Williamson Scott @11dawny11 and Marci Purcell and others, AND a piece I on wrote about the book went live on…
I want to say a word in praise of someone I can now honestly and proudly call my friend, @ssteingraber1. She and I spent last weekend together, traveling to and attending a conference on adoption. She is not only *formidably* brilliant; she is a deep and generous listener. +
Hosting @thesusanito—with adopted people in the audience, with friends in the audience, with my spouse in the audience, as we talk about relinquishment and reunion and rejection and writing and the “good” and the “bad” adoptee—it was one of the richest moments of my life.
Full house and lots of excitement here at the Winchester Public Library for the extraordinary author Susan Ito @thesusanito in conversation with Tony Corsentino @corsent. Both are big-hearted thought leaders in the adoptee rights movement. #adopteevoices #adopteetwitter
@gesisson Susan: the 30 year act of writing this book was a struggle from beginning to end. It was terrifying. It came at a great cost but I’m glad I did it. Writing this book changed me.
