The authors find that a market in babies has long existed. In the early years, supply outstripped demand; needy babies were hard to place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the mid-twentieth century, demand and supply grew together, with adoption presented as the perfect solution to two social problems: infertility and illegitimacy. Supply declined in the 1970s, and demand turned to new global markets. Now these markets are closing, but technology provides new opportunities, and Australians are acquiring babies through the surrogacy markets of India and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the rate of adoptions in Australia falls to a historic low, and parliaments across the country are apologising to parents and babies for the pain caused by past practices, \u003cem\u003eThe Market in Babies\u003c\/em\u003e identifies a historical continuum between the past and the present. It challenges the view that the best interests of the child can ever be protected in an environment where the market for babies is allowed to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850338455788,"sku":"9781921867866","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7089783482872.jpg?v=1759082428"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/denise-cuthbert.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
