Description
Volume 2: The author explains the development of adoption practices as they were shaped by the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Justice Department, U.S. Census Bureau, Social Security, the Children's Bureau and the Council for State Governments. The story is traced from Myra Clark Gaines' court battles to be recognized as her birth father's daughter, through Jean Paton's struggle to open records so that adopted people can learn their personal history.
