Adoption in the Digital Age explores the transformation of adoption
due to social and digital media technologies. The most prolific of
these changes can be seen within contact arrangements, particularly
those that are not managed by an intermediary, between adopted
minors and their biological kin. Within this shift, it becomes
clear that this often-breached contact arrangement lends itself
towards discussions about further openness within adoption. At the
same time these technologies continue to document the way adopted
individuals and their biological kin feel about themselves and each
other. It is for these reasons that the Internet remains both a
promise and threat. Samuels explores this in detail, highlighting
that what it means to be adopted continues to evolve in the context
of networked media cultures. Combining both theoretical discussions
with the human experience of adoption, Adoption in the Digital Age
will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of
disciplines, including sociology, social work and cultural studies,
as well as practitioners working with adoptive families and other
members of the adoption triad connected and disconnected by
adoption.
