Gretchen Sisson is a sociologist who studies abortion and adoption in the United States.
She is the author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, based on hundreds of in-depth interviews with women who have relinquished infants for domestic adoption over the past 60 years.
“Sisson’s comprehensive and harrowing debut draws on a decade of interviews and archival research to argue that America’s current discourse around adoption belies its insidious history of targeting vulnerable mothers and children...The result is a devastating and urgent condemnation of America’s adoption industry.”
