This cohort of adoptive parents entered adoption during a time of both dramatically declining numbers of international placements and increasing public critique of this route to family formation. Timely and relevant, Fenton’s monograph is a welcome addition to the scholarship on international adoption and contemporary families.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e - Heather Jacobson (author of Labor of Love: Gestational Surrogacy and the Work of Making Babies) \u003cdiv\u003e“This book tells a compelling, nuanced story about the changing contemporary landscape of international adoption.

In \u003ci\u003eThe End of International Adoption?\u003c\/i\u003e Estye Fenton studies parents in the United States who adopted internationally in the past decade during this shift. She investigates the experiences of a cohort of adoptive mothers who were forced to negotiate their desire to be parents in the context of a growing societal awareness of international adoption as a flawed reproductive marketplace. Many parents, activists, and scholars have questioned whether the inequality inherent in international adoption renders the entire system suspect. In the face of such concerns, international adoption has not only become more difficult, but also more politically and ethically fraught. The mothers interviewed for this book found themselves navigating contemporary American family life in an unexpected way, caught between the double-bind of work-family life and a new paradigm of thinking about the method-international adoption-that they used to create those families.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: International Adoption in the Twenty-First Century\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: “\u003cbr\u003eWe’\u003cbr\u003ere on the Market Again”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Parental Anxiety and Interwoven Decision-Making Surrounding Race, Health, and “\u003cbr\u003eFitness”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Murky Truths and Double-Binds\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: The Reproductive Politics of International Adoption\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Methods and Sample Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e Participant Biographies\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563732889880,"sku":"9780813599694","price":91.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-end-of-international-adoption-an-unraveling-reproductive-market-and-the-politics-of-healthy-babies-hardback-9780813599694","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
