Child Abandonment
Child abandonment is the practice of relinquishing interests and claims over one's offspring in an illegal way, with the intent of never resuming or reasserting guardianship. The phrase is typically used to describe the physical abandonment of a child, but it can also include severe cases of neglect and emotional abandonment, such as when parents fail to provide financial and emotional support for children over an extended period of time. An abandoned child is referred to as a foundling (as opposed to a runaway or an orphan). Baby dumping refers to parents leaving a child younger than 12 months in a public or private place with the intent of terminating their care for the child. It is also known as rehoming when adoptive parents use illegal means, such as the internet, to find new homes for their children. In the case where child abandonment is anonymous within the first 12 months, it may be referred to as secret child abandonment. In the United States and many other countries, c ...

Sing To God
''Sing to God'' is the fourth studio album by English rock band Cardiacs. Their first album with drummer Bob Leith and their second as a four-piece, it was recorded throughout 1995, breaking a hiatus by the band that had lasted since the band's previous album ''Heaven Born and Ever Bright'' (1992). During writing and recording, Jon Poole took a greater role than before, contributing to many songs written by band leader Tim Smith, and writing some of his own. The band decided to create a double album to encompass the great wealth of material written after their previous album. As with the band's previous albums, it presents a unique sound, and is seen as more eclectic than the band's previous albums, with one reviewer describing the record as "essentially akingeverything Cardiacs had always been and ampingit up to maximum," and another saying the album was where "Smith's ability to express the music inside his head really began to transcend any sort of identifiable genre and tu ...

The Foundling (Leary Novel)
''The Foundling'' is a 2022 historical fiction novel by Ann Leary. It is about a home for women deemed "unfit to bear children", and is primarily concerned with eugenics in the United States. Synopsis A young woman named Mary Engle accepts a position as a secretary at the Nettleton State Village for Feebleminded Women of Child Bearing Age. While working there she encounters Lillian Faust, a young woman she recognizes from the orphanage she grew up in. Engle knows from her past history with Faust that she is not feebleminded, and finds that many of the other women at the institution aren't either; many were institutionalized because they were sex workers, drank alcohol, or had interracial relationships. She resolves to help Faust leave the institution, even if it means that she may lose her position and the respect of Dr. Agnes Vogel, the owner of the institution, whom Engle deeply admires. Critical reception ''Kirkus Reviews'' wrote that the novel centers on Engle's "moral ...
