A very thoughtful and powerful piece from Melanie Springer Mock at The Nation:

“If anything, The Child Catchers challenges evangelicals to interrogate their agencies, ministries, and ideologies about adoption, leading the charge to reform an industry where corruption has been legion. That way, in the future, families will not live with the uncertainty many must face, or with the overwhelming grief and loss many birth families experience. Rather than condemning The Child Catchers, evangelicals should see Joyce’s book as a gift, motivating them to make sure not one more child—and his family—is treated unjustly.”
