Two Pickup Bank Chapels tells the history of two chapels of the same name that had very different lifestyles, yet many similarities. Both had a history of adaption and resilience.

This book explores the economic, religious, political and personal forces that led to some 80,000 British children being sent to Canada between 1867 and 1915 and provides a vivid look at one aspect of the history of child welfare practices.

Topics in this book include: the adoption of older children from care; contact with birth families after adoption; trans-racial placement; single-person adoption; children talking about moving to adoption; research on children adopted from Romania; and polices and practices.
