«Naître sans mère ?: Accouchement sous X et filiation» is the sociological essay by Cécile Ensellem (PU Rennes, paperback, 308 pp., in French).
The work analyses anonymous childbirth in France, the 'accouchement sous X', and its effects on filiation. Ensellem examines how a woman can give birth without being legally recognised as a mother, the tensions between maternal privacy and the child's right to know their origins, and the representations of the mother-child bond.
Originally published in 2004, the book sits between law and the sociology of the family.
For jurists, sociologists and readers interested in family law and child protection.
