In Belonging in an Adopted World, Barbara Yngvesson offers a penetrating exploration of the consequences and implications of this unprecedented movement of children, usually from poor nations to the affluent West. Yngvesson illuminates how the politics of adoption policy has profoundly affected the families, nations, and children involved in this new form of social and economic migration. Starting from the transformation of the abandoned child into an adoptable resource for nations that give and receive children in adoption, this volume examines the ramifications of such gifts, especially for families created through adoption and later, the adopted adults themselves. Bolstered by an account of the author's own experience as an adoptive parent, and fully attuned to the contradictions of race that shape our complex forms of family, Belonging in an Adopted World explores the fictions that sustain adoptive kinship, ultimately exposing the vulnerability and contingency behind all human identity. 410 0$aChicago series in law and society. 606 $aIntercountry adoption 606 $aInterracial adoption 606 $aInterethnic adoption 606 $aIntercountry adoption$xLaw and legislation 606 $aIntercountry adoption$zSweden 606 $aIntercountry adoption$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntercountry adoption. 615 0$aInterracial adoption. 615 0$aInterethnic adoption. 615 0$aIntercountry adoption$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aIntercountry adoption 615 0$aIntercountry adoption 676 $a362.734 700 $aYngvesson$b Barbara, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0941969 701 $aYngvesson$b Barbara$f1941-$0941969 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457978903321 996 $aBelonging in an adopted world$92125393 997 $aUNINA
