Making a “Real” Family
This paper discusses the policy of matching as it has influenced American adoption practice. The word “matching” is shorthand for a set of assumptions built around the principle that when a child is “like” her or his adoptive parents, the adoption will be successful. The policy involves establishing criteria for likeness; traits upon which likeness has been based include, explicitly, race, ethnicity, and religion, and, implicity, class. My articl…

Il s'interroge quant a la signification de ce type de relation sur le plan de la parente

Kinship with Strangers: Adoption and Interpretations of Kinship in American Culture
Adoption challenges our understanding of the core symbols of kinship in American culture - birth, biology, and blood. Through the lens of anthropological theory, Judith Modell examines these symbols and the way they affect people who experience the 'fictive' kinship of adoption. Her findings are timely and profoundly moving and contribute valuable insights to the current debate about removing the veil of secrecy from adoption records and procedur…

Last Chance Babies: Interpretations of Parenthood in an In Vitro Fertilization Program
In this article I describe interpretations of parenthood that emerge in the context of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program in an urban hospital. Through the notion of "odds," which is used to communicate the likelihood of a successful pregnancy, patients and physicians negotiated a "high-tech" fertilization, issues of medical expertise and authority, and the status of the patient's knowledge and experience of her own body. I suggest that whil…

In Search: The Purported Biological Basis of Parenthood
A discussion of Concerned United Birthparents (CUB), a group advocating change in American adoption policies, demonstrates the importance of a nature/culture construct in individual experiences of parenthood. Through a vivid rhetoric, the group redefines the significance of relinquishing a child to adoption; searching for a child "reverses" the surrender of a child. Reassessing "biological" and "social" claims, CUB affirms the importance of "natu…
