Natural Hospital Birth Adoption Nation

The Best of Both Worlds How the Adoption Revolution is
Transforming America, Revised Edition
By Cynthia Gabriel
Foreword by Tim Johnson, M.D., O.B./G.Y.N. By Adam Pertman

March
224 pages • 6 x 9
Paperback $14.95 • 978-1-55832-718-4
Hardcover $22.95 • 978-1-55832-717-7
These days, many mothers-to-be find themselves torn between
the desire for a natural childbirth with minimal medical interven-
tion and the peace of mind offered by instant access to life-saving
technology that only a hospital can provide. In Natural Hospital
Birth, doula Cynthia Gabriel asserts that there is no good reason
that women in North America should not be able to have both.
She shows expectant mothers what they can do to avoid un-
necessary medical interventions and how to take initiative and
consciously prepare for the kind of birth they want to have. Also
included are inspiring stories from other women who know first-
hand that natural birth in the hospital is possible. With this book,
mothers-to-be will be equipped with the knowledge they need to
ensure a satisfying hospital birth that they will look back on with
peace and joy.
Cynthia Gabriel is a medical anthropologist, mother of three, and
doula who has attended nearly 100 births. She also is the founder
of Growing Together, a Life Learning Center that offers psycho-
therapy and life coaching services in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where
she lives.
In this revised edition of Adam Pertman’s award-winning book,
first published in 2000, readers will find updated information
on every aspect of adoption and its changing role in American
society. Pertman, a Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and
father of two adopted children, offers an unflinching study of
adoption policy and processes. In addition, compelling personal
stories make this book a must-read for anyone considering adopt-
ing a child, as well as professionals in the field.
Adam Pertman is a Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and the
executive director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. A
leading expert on adoption, his commentary has been featured in
the Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Boston
Globe, The Baltimore Sun, and The Miami Herald, and on Nation-
al Public Radio. He has appeared on television programs includ-
ing “Oprah,” “Today,” and “Nightline.” He lives in Massachusetts
with his wife and children.
