Synopsis

Blazing a new trail through the difficult terrain of marriage and family issues, this book filters the complexities of marriage, familial relationships, and reproductive technologies through the lens of a childs right to be raised by both their mother and father.Featuring the real-life stories of hundreds of children, Them Before Us makes the irrefutable case that a childs mother and father are critical to their mental, physical, and emotional well-being, dispeling prevalent myths concerning childrens rights.This well-researched book identifies the wide-ranging harms resulting from mother- and father-loss, and it provides a roadmap for effective childrens rights advocacy. Whether youre seeking to make sense of your own fractured childhood or yearn to prevent similar struggles for the next generation, Them Before Us will equip you to be the adult who should have advocated for you as a child.By defending childrens rights, we protect the heart of every child and set a course that will decimate a myriad of the social ills currently plaguing our world. When we disregard those rights, children are reduced to commodities to be cut and pasted into any and every adult relationship.

Goodreads review by Natalie on July 20, 2022

Loved the book! I found their collection and summary of studies extremely helpful on understanding the adverse effects of surrogacy and divorce.
