Reinforcing the Motherhood Ideal
Dans cet article, les auteures étudient l'idée que les gens se font des méres biologiques qui transmettent leurs droits parentaux à des parents adoptifs. Des différences selon les sexes ressortent de la description des méres biologiques qui élaborent un plan d'adoption et des explications de leurs raisons pour avoir choisi le placement dans un foyer adoptif. Lorsqu'une femme élève son enfant biologique, les conceptions sur l'im‐portance inhérente…

Open Adoption as a Family Form
In this article, community assessments of support for three levels of open adoption are examined, including two types of mediated adoption, fully disclosed adoption, and confidential adoption. Combining telephone survey data from a Canada-wide random sample of 706 respondents with 82 qualitative interviews, the authors report on community assessments of these levels of openness and the relevance of these results for other survey research conducte…
A Comparison of Biological and Adoptive Mothers and Fathers
Using in-depth qualitative interviews with 82 respondents, we examine the nature of beliefs and values about biological (birth) and adoptive parents. With a Canada-wide random sample of 706 respondents, we examine their prevalence in the larger population. We also consider how aspects of biological kinship, gender and actual parenting behaviour affect assessments respondents make of the emotional bonding that occurs between parents and children. …
The Exxon Factor
In the 1970s, a paradigm shift took place in petroleum exploration with the development, within Exxon's research laboratories, of a new model for oil exploration based on seismic stratigraphy and global sea level change. We demonstrate that this approach was widely accepted by the academic and petroleum geology communities outside Exxon in the absence of data, replication, or independent peer review. We attribute this acceptance to the "Exxon Fac…
Adoption, Identity, and Kinship
Adoption, Identity, and Kinship: The Debate Over Sealed Birth Records. Katarina Wegar. New Haven: Yale University Press. 1997. 169 pp. ISBN 0-300-06759-3. $22.50 cloth. In this book, Katarina Wegar, sociologist, attempts to make explicit the implicit assumptions that have shaped adoption and the debate over sealed records. She argues that adoption policies have been shaped by central assumption of differences, by patriarchal assumptions about the…
Community Assessments of Adoption Issues
Theorists have identified the community as án important stakeholder in adoption and recommended research to inform policy development on adoption issues. With a random sample of 150 Canadian respondents, this study combines fixed alternative and open-ended questions and considers community evaluations of open adoption, birth reunions, and disclosure of confidential information. Comparisons are made to similar research on the adoption triangle. Co…
Community constructs of involuntary childlessness
Cette communication est consacrée aux conceptions de l'infécondité qui ont cours dans la société et aux incidences de ces conceptions sur le soutien social offert aux couples qui sont involontairement privés de la possibilité d'avoir des enfants. L'auteure examine plusieurs de ces conceptions, notamment celles voulant que la maternité relève de la biologie tandis que la paternité est apprise; que l'infécondité soit provoquée par des facteurs psyc…
The Regulation of Reproduction
This paper considers the role of public opinion in informing the debate on legislation currently being developed to handle reproductive technologies in Canada. Substantively, community attitudes towards the new reproductive technologies are examined to determine the extent to which the general public is aware of and approves of these technologies. General social values, which do not reflect ‘expert’ concerns are observed. Respondents strongly sup…

The Stigma of Involuntary Childlessness
In this paper, I analyze the stigma associated with involuntary childlessness and compare the perceptions and behavior of physically infertile women and physically fertile women who are involuntarily childless. I also consider information management strategies developed to offset this stigma. These strategies include selective concealment, therapeutic and preventive disclosure, medical disclaimers, deviance avowal, and a process of practiced dece…
Perceptions of informal sanctioning and the stigma of involuntary childlessness
This study systematically examines the role of informal social response in the emergence of involuntary childlessness or infertility as a stigmatizing attribute. Seventy‐one involuntarily childless women provide detailed instances of perceived informal social sanctions related to their infertility. Subjects perceive that normals consider infertility to be caused by psychological or sexual malfunctioning, or by the woman in the dyad. Infertility i…
