Featuring personal, in-depth interviews and conversations with 32 birth mothers, the book highlights perspectives and voices that are seldom the focus in leading discourses of professional practice in this area of law. The book also demands that the statutory rights, support and care of birth mothers are recognised and strengthened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book delivers a comprehensive insight into many aspects and controversies of legal child adoption, including the development and reform of adoption law over history, giving the reader insight into the deep-rooted political and social tensions around the use of adoption. The uniqueness of birth mothers’ subjective stories of adoption contrasts powerfully with the legal theory providing the reader with an intimate paradigm of adoption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book includes discussion of \u003ci\u003eobiter dicta \u003c\/i\u003eand authoritative guidance on adoption practice from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal in \u003ci\u003eRe B (A Child) (Care Proceedings: Appeal) \u003c\/i\u003e[2013] UKSC 33 and \u003ci\u003eRe B-S (Children) (Adoption: Leave to Oppose) \u003c\/i\u003e[2013] EWCA Civ 1146.
