Summary
Whether we are discussing same sex marriage, reproductive technologies, adoption, and even foster care, it seems we have commodified children and even weaponized their greatest wounds for selfish and political gains.

Kristan Hawkins chats with the founder and president of Them Before Us, where their aim is to center the child in all conversations about marriage and family and prioritize their rights over the desire of adults.
