"[Briggs] provides a refreshing and long-overdue feminist/womanist perspective on transracial and transnational adoption practices.... This book presents a powerful argument for a reexamination and reshaping of transracial and transnational adoption policy and practices." - Robin Spath, Affilia, "In Somebody's Children , Laura Briggs reminds us that [transnational] adoptions are not only about how children and parents are joined across borders. They are also just as significantly about how so many children came to be defined as adoptable in the first place." - Jessaca B. Leinaweaver, HAHR, Somebody's Children offers a critically engaged history of the state politics of transnational and transracial adoption., "I have been longing for someone to write this book for a number of years-and how fortunate we are that Laura Briggs has made this her project; she is an outstanding scholar and thinker. A brilliant and wide-ranging book, Somebody's Children makes a powerful contribution to the study of adoption. The public policy implications of Briggs's work are stunning, and I hope this book will contribute to reshaping adoption practice in the United States."- Rickie Solinger , author of Pregnancy and Power: A Short History of Reproductive Politics in America, "I have been longing for someone to write this book for a number of years--and how fortunate we are that Laura Briggs has made this her project; she is an outstanding scholar and thinker. A brilliant and wide-ranging book, Somebody's Children makes a powerful contribution to the study of adoption. The public policy implications of Briggs's work are stunning, and I hope this book will contribute to reshaping adoption practice in the United States."-- Rickie Solinger , author of Pregnancy and Power: A Short History of Reproductive Politics in America, "Her work shines a light on the difficult path to creating and maintaining a stance of solidarity with the poor and disenfranchised... Scholars of race, kinship, human rights, cultural politics, and U.S. and Latin American history will find the book valuable and engrossing, and might even be tempted to do more reading or research on adoption." - Sara Dorow, Reviews in American History, "Heroic rescue narratives of 'orphaned' brown babies-from the adoption of Native children to the fairytale story of Zahara Jolie-Pitt-often crumble under scrutiny. Briggs, whose white partner adopted a Mexican-American daughter, looks unflinchingly at the disturbing history of U.S. adoption across race and borders." - Ms. Magazine, "[I]n juxtaposing histories and current realities of domestic interracial adoption with those of transnational adoption from Latin America, Briggs's work contributes to the ongoing scholarly conversation about motherhood as a key battleground in global struggles over power, rights, and wellbeing." - Clare Daniel, H-Net Reviews, "As the book's title suggests, adopted children were 'somebody's children,; a fact disturbingly absent from most adoption narratives. Briggs does history and family law a great service by bringing that truth to light." , "For decades, a child-saving ideology that devalues the bonds of children of color with their families and communities has served to mask social, economic, and political inequities in the United States and abroad. Laura Briggs's astute analysis exposes the historical struggles underlying this devaluation in domestic and foreign policies. Somebody's Children is essential reading for everyone concerned about the politics of adoption and the equal dignity of families worldwide."- Dorothy Roberts , author of the books Killing the Black Body , Shattered Bonds , and Fatal Invention, "For decades, a child saving ideology that devalues the bonds of children of color with their families and communities has served to mask social, economic, and political inequities in the United States and abroad.

Through a painstaking and thorough historical analysis, Briggs articulates a nuanced account of politics, policy and practice in relation to the most vulnerable children and families - in both domestic and international adoptions. . . . The book will be of interest to scholars of child welfare and adoption, race and ethnicity, human rights, and cultural history. It should be essential reading for practitioners and policymakers in the field of adoption." , "Briggs shines a bright light on the 'politics of transracial and transnational adoption.' . . .

Synopsis
A feminist historian and an adoptive parent, Laura Briggs gives an account of transracial and transnational adoption from the point of view of the mothers and communities that lose their children., In Somebody's Children , Laura Briggs examines the social and cultural forces--poverty, racism, economic inequality, and political violence--that have shaped transracial and transnational adoption in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first. Focusing particularly on the experiences of those who have lost their children to adoption, Briggs analyzes the circumstances under which African American and Native mothers in the United States and indigenous and poor women in Latin America have felt pressed to give up their children for adoption or have lost them involuntarily. The dramatic expansion of transracial and transnational adoption since the 1950s, Briggs argues, was the result of specific and profound political and social changes, including the large-scale removal of Native children from their parents, the condemnation of single African American mothers in the context of the civil rights struggle, and the largely invented "crack babies" scare that inaugurated the dramatic withdrawal of benefits to poor mothers in the United States. In Guatemala, El Salvador, and Argentina, governments disappeared children during the Cold War and then imposed neoliberal economic regimes with U.S. support, making the circulation of children across national borders easy and often profitable. Concluding with an assessment of present-day controversies surrounding gay and lesbian adoptions and the struggles of immigrants fearful of losing their children to foster care, Briggs challenges celebratory or otherwise simplistic accounts of transracial and transnational adoption by revealing some of their unacknowledged causes and costs.
