This book explores the philosophical analysis of adoption by providing insight into the emerging and underexplored topics within the implications and realities of adoption. Showcasing a range of styles, this book provides first-hand accounts of adult-adoptees through diverse standpoints, voices, perspectives, and relationships to adoption.
"This lovely collection complements and enriches contemporary philosophical debates about adoption. It engages with the ethical, epistemological, social, and political implications of adoption, and does so with what is in my view a welcome emphasis on the experiences of adult adoptees. Individually, the papers are sophisticated and insightful; collectively they mark an important step forward in our thinking about the historical, personal, and normative dimensions of adoption."
