Isi artikel

Examining the adoption of Guatemalan children by US citizens, this article argues that adoptive parents make meanings and form identities through their participation in the adoption process and in their production of both Internet-based and spoken narratives about adoption. Using theories of globalization and narrative theory, the article elucidates how adoptive parents imagine and articulate their gendered and national identities, primarily as `American mothers', in their production of narratives about travel and the adoption process.
