[Policies, practices and attitudes in relation to adoption changed enormously during the three decades spanned by this book. After the First World War adoption was seen by many as a last resort for the care of unwanted illegitimate children. By 1950 it was an established way of setting up a family. In 1918 unmarried mothers had been figures of shame to be pitied, helped or despised; by the late 1940s they were increasingly invisible — either the providers of babies for childless couples or silently bringing up their children on their own. The years after the Second World War saw the distillation of a process that began during the interwar years in which the nuclear family — two parents and one or two children — became the dominant model. Adoption of the children of the unmarried fitted neatly into this.]
