Description
Born into Care: International Perspectives on the Removal of Babies at Birth
Born into Care is a groundbreaking collection that brings together researchers, professionals, advocates, and mothers with firsthand experience to examine one of the most challenging and controversial issues in child welfare: the removal of infants from their mothers at birth.
Drawing on a wide range of perspectives, this pioneering volume explores the legal, ethical, and social systems that support a practice that often has profound consequences for families, particularly those from marginalized communities. The contributors investigate how decisions are made around childbirth and child protection, while also addressing critical questions surrounding human rights, access to justice, and the influence of inequality.
The book highlights the complex ways that factors such as poverty, gender discrimination, racism, and ableism can shape family experiences and outcomes. Through careful analysis, personal testimony, and expert insight, it encourages readers to look beyond conventional narratives and consider the broader structural issues at play.
Thought-provoking and deeply informed, Born into Care challenges existing assumptions about child protection while opening important conversations about fairness, accountability, and reform. It offers a compelling call for change and provides a foundation for reimagining systems that better support children, parents, and communities.
