Abstract
In France, international adoption developed in the 1960s and became
an important social phenomenon in the 1980s. During this period,
successive regulations led to differences in the ways the interest of the French
child and the foreign child were treated. This situation also challenged the
established norms of the conjugal family. Adopting a foreign child made it
possible to “make a family” differently, and gave French society new forms
of the family to consider that both shaped and illustrated the evolution of
family morphology. Adoptive families also participated in debates on the
concepts of family, kinship, and parenthood, and they helped to make disabled
children and so-called “children of color” more accepted.
