A Parent Is A Parent, No Matter How Small, Kendra Huard Fershee Apr 2012

A Parent Is A Parent, No Matter How Small, Kendra Huard Fershee

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

Every parent in America has constitutional rights to parent his or her children. If a parent is under the age of eighteen, however, those rights are tenuous. There is no question that adolescent parents face difficulties while trying to juggle school, parental responsibilities, work, their social lives, and more. Add to that long list of challenges the legal infirmities all minors share, and a picture of impending disaster begins to appear for the adolescent parent and his or her child. Furthermore, once a minor parent enters the family court system— instead of getting the services, training, and supervision that may …

Nature And Nurture: Revisiting The Infant Adoption Process, Barbara L. Atwell Feb 2012

Nature And Nurture: Revisiting The Infant Adoption Process, Barbara L. Atwell

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

Adopted children constitute approximately two percent of the United States’ childhood population, but are disproportionately represented in mental health settings, where they make up an estimated four to fifteen percent of the population. Science suggests that for those adopted at birth, this discrepancy may be due in part to their abrupt removal from the biological parents. We are now beginning to understand the importance of the bonding that takes place in utero and the infant’s awareness at birth. This article suggests three changes to the infant adoption process to align it with scientific knowledge. First, all adults involved in the …

"The Good Mother": Mothering, Feminism, And Incarceration, Deseriee A. Kennedy Feb 2012

"The Good Mother": Mothering, Feminism, And Incarceration, Deseriee A. Kennedy

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

As the rates of incarceration continue to rise, women are increasingly subject to draconian criminal justice and child welfare policies that frequently result in the loss of their parental rights. The intersection of an increasingly carceral state and federally imposed time-lines for achieving permanency for children in state care has had a negative effect on women, their children, and their communities. Women, and their ability to parent, are more adversely affected by the intersection of these gender-neutral provisions because they are more likely than men to be the primary caretaker of their children. In addition, incarcerated women have higher rates …


Recovering Subsidiarity In Family Life Education, Karen Jordan Feb 2012

Recovering Subsidiarity In Family Life Education, Karen Jordan

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

This article provides a rigorous analysis of the legitimacy of continuing to rely on and promote school-based family life education, as a way of addressing concerns associated with sexual activity by adolescents. The issue is crucial because empirical evidence strongly suggests that a school-based approach, regardless of curricular content, has failed. For reasons grounded in law and policy, this article advocates that states should retreat from school-based family life education and, instead, recover the insights of the philosophical principle of subsidiarity. Recovering subsidiarity means fully respecting and giving effect to the parental right and duty to educate children in matters …
