    My Work Appears in Romania (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Yesterday, to my surprise, Google sent me this notice. I otherwise would not have known any of this. I guess it’s a very good thing, to be so privileged so as to have written a book that has traveled around the world and through time to reach so many readers. See the review below, in Romania Journal.It’s been 54 years since I first published it. I might be the only one alive now who stands able and willing to criticize its shortcomings, blind spots, limitations. I might also want to expand it qu

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    There is a very good article in this month’s Atlantic by Helen Lewis about legalized surrogacy. It brings me back to my work in the 1980s and confirms that my analysis and fears were all too correct. As usual, they were not politically correct.In 1987, barely a year after I published Mothers on Trial: The Battle for Children and Custody, I saw that a new kind of custody battle was fully upon us. I viewed the earliest cases of surrogacy as a battle between wealthy “intended parents” and economica
