abstract:This essay contains a detailed analysis of the "Kinship Roots Narrative" (KRN), defined as a canonical returning to kin and/or roots trope used to represent adoptees. Though present throughout historical literature and folklore, the KRN is analyzed here through the lenses of genealogical bewilderment (the assumption that separation of an adoptee from their biological parents results in irreparable harm to said adoptee) and bionormativity (the cultural schema in which biological families are the gold standard). The films analyzed are the documentary Somewhere Between (2011), the documentary Twinsters (2015) and the animated children's series, Kung Fu Panda (2008–2016). An analysis of how these films adhere to the KRN (including how they represent genealogical bewilderment and bionormativity) will show how they promote biological kinship as the only way to read family and race.

abstract:Each of the five films currently comprising Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park series (1993–) presents adoption, with a particular focus on the adoptive father, both as a problem and as the solution to problems within the birth family and the commodity culture within which that family is situated. The series repeatedly traces the process of "substantiation" (we borrow this term from Christine Ward Gailey) by requiring adults to look after children from whom they are at first emotionally as well as genetically distant. Yet the tendency to affirm adoption as a solution to weaknesses in the American family coexists with a readiness to consider thorny issues to which adoption draws attention, including the commodification of children, the exploitation of birth parents, and the ethical dimensions of reproductive biotechnologies. This article examines each installment of the franchise to demonstrate the scope and complexity of the commentary on adoption that the series provides. For while all the films manifest certain structural commonalities, each also focuses on a different adoption-related issue, allowing the viewer to read the collective as a decades-long meditation on the preoccupations of the American adoption community in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

According to Graves, the adoption of Black Korean children by African American families was “sporadic,” and after a brief surge in the years between 1955 and 1958, the adoption of Korean children by white American families rose significantly and received much more scholarly and popular attention. As a consequence, the role of Black American families in the early years of Korean adoption, as well as the repercussions these adoptions had for the implementation of reforms in domestic adoption cases, have been obscured. Yet, as Graves skillfully and convincingly shows in her book, the experiences and actions of African American couples who adopted Black Korean children form a significant part of the early phase of transnational and transracial adoption from Korea. A War Born Family is thus a rich contribution to the fields of Adoption and Family Studies but ought also to be included in the history of the transnational Civil Rights Movement and Cold War Cultures as well as in discussions on (Black) motherhood and family formations in the 1950s.
