A Legal History of Adoption in Ontario, 1921-2015 by Lori Chambers

Lori Chambers' fascinating study explores the legal history of adoption in Ontario since the passage of the first statute in 1921.

‘This is a timely and through analysis that will be of interest to scholars of legal and family history’

-- Tarah Brookfield * The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth vol 11:01:2018 *

"Chambers’s scholarship provides needed insights into the origins of adoption law, the dubious tactics of social workers…, the responsibilities of putative fathers, the sordid tale of child apprehension, the debate between closed and open adoptions, and the fight to be legally recognized as parents by step-parents, same-sex parents, and biological fathers."

-- Debra Nash-Chambers, Wilfred Laurier University * University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018 *

Lori Chambers is a professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at Lakehead University.
