Overview
The Invisible Hippo of Grief: An Adoption Story investigates the Canadian Baby Adoption Mandate Era (1945-1985) when over 400,000 newborns were adoption to new families. History reveals the babies were taken—most first mothers were not given informed consent, and were often subject to neglect, abuse, and dangerous medical procedures.
