 ssion on Gabrielle Glasser's 'American Baby: A Mother\, A Child\, and the 
 Shadow History of Adoption.' \n\nThis nonfiction read reveals the shocking
  truth about postwar adoption in America\, told through the bittersweet st
 ory of one teenager\, the son she was forced to relinquish\, and their sea
 rch to find each other. In 1961\, 16-year-old Margaret Erle became pregnan
 t by her boyfriend\, and her parents sent her to a maternity home. After s
 he gave birth to a son\, social workers threatened her into signing away h
 er parental rights. For decades\, Margaret tried desperately to find her s
 on but was blocked by the adoption agency that had handled his adoption. I
 nvestigative journalist Gabrielle Glaser follows Erle's journey in a wrenc
 hing narrative that centers on the secretive\, exploitative adoption busin
 ess in postwar America. In American Baby\, she highlights how the adoption
  industry's practices led to countless forced separations\, which she lays
  out in intense and chilling detail. \n\nOur book group discussion will be
  facilitated by staff member Camille Rose Dickson. Purchase your book on A
