Abstract

[This chapter presents a historical discussion of adoption in the United States. We begin with the precursors to U.S. adoption laws, and then cover the Colonial Era, the Progressive Era, and the Heyday of Adoptions; we end with a presentation of current adoption practices. Many adoption traditions, primarily functioning to care for orphans, are grounded in historical events such as wars and disasters, and ethnic and religious cultures.]
