Accredited Adoption Organizations as “Makers of Parenthood” (Research Note) I am situating my research on adoption according to Nadine Lefaucheur’s notion of the minimization of harm/the lesser evil when dealing with illegitimate children. Also, I am looking at the way in which one accredited adoption organization saw its mandate, choosing to arrange its practice around difficult to place children (older children, children with disabilities, siblings), and accompanying the families throughout the whole adoption process.
