Inhaltsangabe

Although case histories from the Children's Bureau of Delaware and American literature and movies are the window into the personal side of this history, Melosh (English and history, George Mason U.) weaves their stories into the national experience with the growth, decline, and constantly changing nature of legal "stranger adoption" in the United States of the 20th century. The change evidenced in the institution reveal a host of shifting social realities, touching upon topics such as concepts of identity and assimilation, social work versus market models of placement, paternalistic liberalism versus ethnic nationalism, expansions of socially accepted individuals, and ideologies of the heterosexual nuclear family.
