Description:
This book examines the ways class, gender, and race shape public and private adoption in the United States. The author analyzes the controversies surrounding international, public, and transracial adoption, and how the political and economic dynamics that shape adoption policies and practices affect the lives of people in the adoption nexus: adopters, adoptees, birth parents, and agents within and across borders.
