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. 410 0$ae-Duke books scholarly collection. 606 $aIntercountry adoption 606 $aCognition and culture 606 $aKinship 606 $aTransnationalism 615 0$aIntercountry adoption. 615 0$aCognition and culture. 615 0$aKinship. 615 0$aTransnationalism. 676 $a362.734 676 $a362.734 701 $aVolkman$b Toby Alice$f1948-$0961843 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820224603321 996 $aCultures of transnational adoption$94097435 997 $aUNINA
