Is There a "Better" Way To Place Babies for Adoption?
England is having a moment of examining its system of child welfare, prompted (as these things are) by several high-profile cases of social work gone bad—the death of a child returned to its birth mother and the removal of other children from mothers publicly perceived as able to care for them.
