Are Catholic Charities Forcing Women to Put Their Babies Up for Adoption?. Part 2

Rather, Dan, (host.). Big Media. (Added Author). Films Media Group, (film distributor.).

Summary: Dan Rather gives voice to millions of women in several countries who were manipulated into relinquishing their babies for adoption under pressure from Catholic charities, adoption agencies, and homes for unwed mothers. Hear the firsthand stories of many women who experienced coercion and neglect while pregnant and giving birth. Though most of this occurred in the 1960s during the baby scoop era, the monetization and institutionalization of adoption still affects women and their babies that were separated from them. This film examines the experiences, motives, and aftermath of forced adoption practices.
