NAAP's First Families program with Amy Seek and Amber Jimerson will be resuming their guest speaking events beginning with Gretchen Sisson, PhD
These special events are open to all, regardless of your connection to adoption.
Gretchen will be discussing her new book Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood. Gretchen's research draws on a ten-year study examining how birth/first mothers make decisions about their pregnancies and parenting plans and how they feel about their adoptions over time.
More broadly, though, her work considers the social contexts in which their individual decisions are made, and how politics, religion, race, poverty, and inequality shape our understandings of adoption and who it serves.
Gretchen Sisson, Ph.D., is a qualitative sociologist studying abortion and adoption at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at University of California, San Francisco. Her research was cited in the Supreme Court's dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and has been covered in The Washington Post, The Nation, All Things Considered and Consider This, New York Magazine, VOX, and other outlets.
You can order her book here: a.co/d/9cCtdmy
