Analysis Of Adoptive Migration By Jessaca Leinaweaver

In Adoptive Migration By Jessaca Leinaweaver does great job on describing the struggle that couples go through when trying to adopt a child. The even bigger struggle shows what parents go through that give their children up for adoption. This book was mainly based on international adoption i.e. Peru to Spain, many couples would decide to adopt from Peru. Adoptive Migration, then continued to talk about the difficulties on the rules each country had when wanting to adopt, most parents weren 't able to adopt due to the rules and regulations being so strict. Some of the biggest rules and regulations were age and income; age because they wanted couples to be a certain age to be able to live long enough to raise a child and income because honestly,

I believe the main purpose for Leinaweaver’s book to inform parents, future adoptive parents and overall people in general about the honest struggles and plain reality of trying to adopt and the unfortunate effects it can have on a child.

So in Adoptive Migration case they consider their substance to be something completely different, since these children are coming from no family to having one, their substance is their place of birth, their citizenship, and cultural practices. Like David Schneider argues, “That nationality and religion, like kinship, are defined in the United States in terms of
