"An extraordinary book. Chilling, inspiring, and utterly
convincing, it creates an ironclad case for the adoption
solution." -Sylvia Ann Hewlett, coauthor of The War Against
Parents "Bartholet sounds the alarm on the savage consequences the
child welfare system has on so many children and challenges
us to confront the reality that substance abuse . . . is the
culprit in most cases of child abuse and neglect. Everyone
who cares about our nation's most vulnerable children should
read this book." -Joseph A. Califano, Jr., president, The
National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia
University "Blood and race remain the over-riding factors in
determining the future of suffering children. This should be
required reading for those who look on adoption as the last
resort." -Mary McGrory, Washington Post columnist "Bartholet is a passionate crusader on behalf of children,
and brings to her subject vigorous, clear-headed prose and
the moral authority of her professional dedication."
-Ann-Janine Morey, Chicago Tribune "Bartholet issues a strong challenge to the child welfare
system to facilitate adoption of children who have been
abused and neglected. All people concerned about the healthy development of
children should read Nobody's Children. I highly recommend
it." -Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., clinical professor of
psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "The way we treat abused and neglected children in this
country remains a national scandal. Bartholet challenges the
priority placed . . . on keeping battered or neglected
children with their families or racial group, and makes a
strong case for increased use of adoption." -Senator Howard
M. Metzenbaum (ret.), author of the MultiethnicPlacement Act "A disturbing look at how the lives of 'America's modern-day
orphans' are sacrificed for the often unrealistic goal of
keeping troubled families together. . . . The author makes
her case intelligently, fearlessly, and exhaustively."
