Beyond The Bridge is an autobiography by Linda Ehle Callens. She was raised in Salinas, CA, during the ’50s and ’60s. After nine years in parochial school, she began attending public school. She was a devout Catholic girl until she fell in love at the age of 16, got pregnant, and was forced to relinquish her baby to adoption. That was in 1967, when few people understood the repercussions of giving up a child. Linda vowed she would find her son someday—to tell him she had always loved him. In 1990, she joined a search and reunion organization and gained a great deal of knowledge about the effects of adoption before she found her son.

Virtually all literature about birth parents of adopted children has focused on mothers. In this pioneering study, Gary Clapton gives us a fresh perspective: he recounts the experiences of thirty birth fathers separated from their children at birth. Discussing different notions of fatherhood, such as biological paternity, social fatherhood, sperm donorship and the “father figure,” this informative book—the first on birth fathers in adoption—brings new light to issues such as the decision to give up a child for adoption, the child’s desire to find his or her birth parents, and the facilitation of contact later in life. Written in an accessible style with insights into adoption and social work practice past and present, Birth Fathers and their Adoption Experiences offers a vital new perspective on understanding the causes and consequences of adoption, and makes positive suggestions for working with those whom it affects. About the Author: Gary Clapton is a post-adoption counselor with Birthlink in Edinburgh and a training officer with City of Edinburgh Council Social Work Department. |

About the Author: Birth Mother’s Day and The Birth Mother’s Day Planner grew out of my own journey after losing my infant daughter in a closed adoption in 1978. It grew out of the experience of finding myself alone on a journey through a wilderness of grief. I was a mother, yet was not seen as a mother by those around me or those who were parenting my daughter. For many years I grieved in secret and felt myself to be invisible. Yet even then, through tears, I remembered the great joy I had felt at my daughter’s birth. It was an experience of triumph, transcendence, and ecstasy that became my personal yardstick of joy. And so it was, I always observed her birthday as a day of celebration for both of us—of birth and birth-giving—even in the years of all-day grief. |

“I was fourteen, going on fifteen. At first I denied I was pregnant...” What is it like to experience an abortion at fourteen?

Raised by unconventional Irish Catholics who knew “how to drink, how to dance, how to talk, and how to stir up the devil,” Kate Mulgrew grew up with poetry and drama in her bones. But in her mother, a would-be artist burdened by the endless arrival of new babies, young Kate saw the consequences of a dream deferred. Determined to pursue her own dream no matter the cost, at seventeen she left her small midwestern town for New York, where, studying with the legendary Stella Adler, she learned the lesson that would define her as an actress: “Use it,” Adler told her. Whatever disappointment, pain, or anger life throws in your path, channel it into the work. It was a lesson she would need. At twenty-two, just as her career was taking off, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Having already signed the adoption papers, she was allowed only a fleeting glimpse of her child. As her star continued to rise, her life became increasingly demanding and fulfilling, a whirlwind of passionate love affairs, lifesaving friendships, and bone-crushing work. Through it all, Mulgrew remained haunted by the loss of her daughter, until, two decades later, she found the courage to face the past and step into the most challenging role of her life, both on and offscreen. We know Kate Mulgrew for the strong women she’s played—especially Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager and the tough-as-nails “Red” on Orange Is the New Black. Now we meet the most inspiring and memorable character of all: Mulgrew herself. By turns irreverent and soulful, laugh-out-loud funny and heart-piercingly sad, Born with Teeth is the breathtaking memoir of a woman who dares to live life to the fullest, on her own terms. About the Author: Kate Mulgrew is an American actress noted for her roles as Captain Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, Mary Ryan on Ryan’s Hope, and, most recently, Galina “Red” Reznikov on Orange is the New Black. She has performed in numerous television shows, theater productions, and movies. She is a winner of a Golden Satellite Award, a Saturn Award, and an Obie Award, and has been nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy. |
