520 1 $a"Strangers and Kin is a history of adoption, a quintessentially American institution in its buoyant optimism, generous spirit, and confidence in social engineering. An adoptive mother herself, Barbara Melosh tells the story of how married couples without children sought to care for and nurture other people's children as their own. It says much about the American experience of family across the twentieth century and our shifting notions of kinship and assimilation.
520 8 $aAbove all, it speaks of real people striving to make families out of strangers."--BOOK JACKET.
