Transnational Adoption and Immigration; An Avenue of Disconnect

Research focuses on the cross-comparison of both phenomenäs ( i.e. transnational adoption and immigration), revealing a disjuncture between kinship, race, class and the state. As both transformations demand us to entertain the possibility, the transnational adoptee, is a form of embodied value, not appropriated to immigrants - opening the analytical space of discussion on how similar types of migration exist as humanitarian expectations, but demand different reception.
