Who Is a Worthy Mother?
Nearly every person in the United States is affected by adoption. Adoption practices are woven into the fabric of American society and reflect how our nation values human beings, particularly mothers. In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, the renewed debate over women's reproductive rights places an even greater emphasis on adoption. As a mother, historian, and adoptee, Rebecca C. Wellington is uniquely qualified to uncover the policies and practices of adoption. Wellington's timely--and deeply researched--account amplifies previously marginalized voices and exposes the social and racial biases embedded in the United States' adoption industry. The history of adoption is rarely told from an adoptee's perspective. Wellington remedies this gap by framing the chronicle of adoption in America using her own life story. She describes growing up in a family with which she had no biological connection, giving birth to her own biological children, and then enduring the death of her sister, who was also adopted. As she reckons with the pain and unanswered questions of her own experience, she explores broader issues surrounding adoption in the United States, including changing legal policies, sterilization and compulsory relinquishment programs, forced assimilation of babies of color and Indigenous babies adopted into white families, and other liabilities affecting women, mothers, and children. According to Wellington, US adoption practices in America are shrouded in secrecy, for they frequently cast shame on unmarried women, women struggling with fertility, and "illegitimate" babies and children. As the United States once again finds itself embroiled in heated disputes over women's bodily autonomy--disputes in which adoption plays a central role--Wellington's book offers a unique and much-needed frame of reference.

Rabbit Town
In 1932, during the dark days of the Great Depression, Charlie Davis, from the inner Sydney suburb of Newtown, is laid off from work. When he can no longer pay the rent, his family establishes a dwelling in a shanty town called Happy Valley, near Le Perouse on Sydney's eastern fringe. To make ends meet, Charlie and his son, Tom, follow in the footsteps of the original 'rabbitohs' who had already earned a place in Sydney's folklore, and they traipse the streets selling rabbits. During his days as a rabbitoh, Tom befriends a young Irish girl Hazel, and to the horror of her Catholic family, she becomes pregnant. With her infant, she joins Tom and his family at Happy Valley, but struggles in the dour conditions. She flees Happy Valley, deserting her baby Bill, knowing that she is now carrying another child. She seeks refuge in a cold and cruel institution for unmarried, pregnant girls and does what she needs to do, so she can have a life with her baby daughter, Nancy. Eight years later in 1940, both Tom and his father, Charlie, take their place in the theatre of war. When the war is over, Tom is reunited with his mother and young son, Bill. Tom begins his search for Hazel. When the search proves successful, both Tom and Hazel agree to hide their history, not wanting their son, Bill, to learn of his abandonment as a baby. Tom is introduced to Nancy as an old friend that her mother knew from before the war. Thrown together as stepsiblings, Bill and Nancy see nothing shameful in the romantic chemistry that exists between them, unaware that they are full siblings. When eventually Bill finds out that Nancy is his biological sister, he does what he can to distance himself from her, though by this time she is already pregnant. He sets up Nancy in a nearby suburb and manipulates the situation so that a neighbour, Mrs Green, becomes the carer of their developmentally delayed son, Leon. She becomes the child's 'ma'.
