Based on the biographical accounts of young women who were adopted when they were children or adolescents, this work analyses the management techniques that are deployed in institutional care devices located in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. These production processes of adoptable subjects can be considered in light of several techniques that operate through different logics of power and that unfold in the web of social relations that the children of said devices maintain with each other and with the institutional agents
