Strangers And Kin
History of adoption in the US, from the 1930s up to the present. Most of the data comes from the Delaware Children's Bureau. Melosh traces societal changes and how they have affected adoption and covers many of the big issues that surround modern adoption including; international adoption, transracial adoption, and open vs. closed adoption. The author has an adopted son, and while the book clearly delves into problems with adoption, it does leave you with a feeling of good people trying to make the best choices they can for their children. The author believes that adoption represents many American ideals, such as upward mobility, second chances, and compassion for others.
