The first social history of disability and difference in American adoption, from the Progressive Era to the end of the twentieth century. Disability and child welfare, together and apart, are major concerns in American society. Today, about 125,000 children in foster care are eligible and waiting for adoption, and while many children wait more than two years to be adopted, children with disabilities wait even longer. In Familial Fitness, Sandra M. Sufian uncovers how disability operates as a fundamental category in the making of the American family, tracing major shifts in policy, practice, and attitudes about the adoptability of disabled children over the course of the twentieth century. Chronicling the long, complex history of disability, Familial Fitness explores how notions and practices of adoption have—and haven’t—accommodated disability, and how the language of risk enters into that complicated relationship. We see how the field of adoption moved from widely excluding children with disabilities in the early twentieth century to partially including them at its close. As Sufian traces this historical process, she examines the forces that shaped, and continue to shape, access to the social institution of family and invites readers to rethink the meaning of family itself.

Parents who are concerned about their child's weight are up against formidable adversaries. Super-sized portions of bad-for-your-kids foods are everywhere. Television, video games, and computer-based socializing are taking over where playgrounds and neighborhood backyards once predominated. Cash-strapped schools and overscheduled family lives are conspiring to keep kids from getting the physical activity and nutritious foods their bodies need. It's no surprise that children in America are getting fatter and unhealthier with each passing year. But, so too are many parents-a child's most influential role models. Family Fun and Fitness is Knute Keeling's plan to help you take back control of your family's health and ensure that your child gets the best possible start. Keeling's plan focuses on the formative years from pre-conception through the early school-age years. At each stage, Keeling shows how you and your child can get moving with physical activities and workout routines (illustrated with photos); eat well with a nutritious diet and nutrition-packed foods (with recipes); and overcome hard-to-resist, less-than-healthful habits with simple strategies (plus some tricks and tips). Keeling includes dozens of great ideas-prenatal boogie sessions, jungle gym workouts, meals with "energy foods," and the like-to keep you and your child excited about learning to eat well, exercise regularly, and lose weight. Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience as a father of two, Keeling helps parents commit to the hard work involved in making these lifestyle changes, empowers them to lead by their good example, and delivers a plan that promises a lifelong love of exercise and healthful eating, and a whole lot of family fun.
