Adoption in America sheds new light on the history of adoption and orphanages in the United States. E. Wayne Carp's introduction follows the development of adoption from the colonial period to the present. The multidisciplinary essays that follow provide an in-depth look at adoption from a number of perspectives, exploring such topics as antebellum adoption and orphanages, changing conceptions of adoption in late-nineteenth-century novels, Progressive Era reform and adoptive mothers, the politics of "matching" adoptive parents with children, the radical effect of World War II on adoption practices, religion and the reform of adoption, the construction of birth-mother and adoptee identities, and much more.
