Close to 140,000 transnational adoptions occurred in the United States alone. While in an earlier era, adoption across borders was assumed to be straightforward-a child traveled to a new country and stayed there-by the late twentieth century, adoptees were expected to acquaint themselves with the countries of their birth and explore their multiple identities. Listservs, Web sites, and organizations creating international communities of adoptive parents and adoptees proliferated.e-Duke books scholarly collection.Intercountry adoptionCognition and cultureKinshipTransnationalismIntercountry adoption.Cognition and culture.Kinship.Transnationalism.362.734362.734Volkman Toby Alice1948-961843MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820224603321Cultures of transnational adoption4097435UNINA
