They came to Korea to save children from want or from the shame of illegitimacy, to fill the empty arms of couples, to lead small souls into evangelical Christianity. Whatever their motives and methods, a relatively small number of people facilitated a massive international and trans-racial adoption system that changed thousands of lives. In this multidisciplinary study researchers examine what happened to the birth mothers, the children and the adoptive families involved, along with the non-governmental and governmental agencies that acquired powerful positions in choosing who went, who stayed, who got, and who went without. Contributors examine the adoptions from the Korean side, the adjustment issues of young adults who were adopted, ethnic identity, marketing of adoption services, representations of the adopted in popular Korean culture, and the consequences of failures. This should serve as a model for studies of other instances of mass international adoptions. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
