Making Contact

Mothers, Markets, and Migration (Encore)


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we take a look at how over six decades after the Korean War, South Korea processed the most international adoptions in history and how the demand for a “domestic supply of (adoptable) infants” may be playing a role in increasing threats to autonomy over pregnancy in the US. This show first aired in November 2024.

Featuring

Alex Lewis, independent producer and founder of Rowhome Productions | Schuyler Swenson, producer | Lydia Doublestein, registered midwife
