November 5, 2023 @ 11:30 am 1:00 pm

Part 2 of 2-Part Special Forum Event

In a political moment in Ohio where adoption is often invoked as an abortion alternative, what can we learn from the experiences of women who have relinquished children for adoption? Adoption Network Cleveland is pleased to host sociologist Gretchen Sisson, Ph.D.  for a special preview of her upcoming book, Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood (Macmillan, February 2024). Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland is proud to be a partner.
