Listen Later

Please join Lynn and I as we discuss the interlude Claiming Adoption from Conceiving Christian America; Embryo Adoptino and Reproductive Politics by Risa Cromer. We begin todays episode with a discussion of Nightlight Adoptions article on five unique aspects of snowflake adoption.

Mentioned in the show:

Conceiving Christian America (Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice) by Cromer, Risa: Fine (2023) | GF Books, Inc. (abebooks.com)
unique benefits (nightlight.org)
Topic no. 607, Adoption credit and adoption assistance programs | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
While we recognize that the author of the book is speaking from a reproductive justice perspective, the hosts speak primarily from the perspective of adoptee rights. We acknowledge that our thoughts and opinions may diverge from the focus of the book at various points. We agree that reprodcutive rights are under attack and support the goal of the author to educate the public on the dangers. We also wish to educate the public on the harms that embryo gestation by genetic strangers causes to any person that may result. We object to the fertility and adoption industrys attempts to co-opt adoption and adoptees to further their political and financial and religious ambitions.

The opiniions of the hosts are just that, their opinions. The hosts are not lawyers or fertility specialists.

Thank you for listening! We welcome respectful feedback.
