Author Bio
Miranda Davies is a writer and editor with a longstanding interest in gender, development and human rights. She has worked as a freelance writer and editor for numerous organisations, including Isis International Women's Network, the Central America Committee for Human Rights, Virago, Channel Four, the Rough Guides, Sort Of Books and the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF). Miranda has been a book editor and Managing Editor of BAAF's peer-reviewed quarterly journal, Adoption & Fostering, since 1996. This job sparked an interest in child welfare, especially the needs and rights of children separated from their families of origin. Some of the similarities with intercountry adoption in turn gave rise to a fascination with reproductive tourism and the many ethical and other implications of the current boom in commercial surrogacy. In August 2014, Miranda attended a three-day International Forum on Intercountry Adoption & Global Surrogacy organised by International Social Services (ISS) in The Hague, where she met many of the potential contributors to the proposed anthology. Miranda has two grown-up daughters and lives in London.
