This might be termed ?adoption from within.? ?Adoption from without? (transnational adoption) is primarily dealt with in articles discussing Chinese and Korean adoptions in the US. The third section concerns such issues as the multiple forms that adoption can take, notions of adoption and identity, adoption and the family, and the problems of adoption. . 606 $aAmerica?Literatures 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aLiterature    606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aPostcolonial/World Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000 615 0$aAmerica?Literatures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aLiterature   . 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aPostcolonial/World Literature. 676 $a809.7 702 $aShackleton$b Mark$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255081703321 996 $aInternational Adoption in North American Literature and Culture$92242483 997 $aUNINA
