Virtually all literature about birth parents of adopted children has focused on mothers. In this pioneering study, Gary Clapton gives us a fresh perspective: he recounts the experiences of thirty birth fathers separated from their children at birth.
Discussing different notions of fatherhood, such as biological paternity, social fatherhood, sperm donorship and the `father figure'', this informative book - the first on birth fathers in adoption - brings new light to issues such as the decision to give up a child for adoption, the child''s desire to find his or her birth parents, and the facilitation of contact in later life.
Written in an accessible style with insights into adoption and social work practice past and present, Birth Fathers and their Adoption Experiences offers a vital new perspective on understanding the causes and consequences of adoption, and makes positive suggestions for working with those whom it affects.
