Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the implications of recent developments in U.S. intercountry adoption (ICA) policy for vulnerable children. We review policy and practices from 2004-2018, including (1) the 2008 implementation of the Hague Convention and (2) the 2017 changes in Hague accrediting entities for adoption agencies. By analyzing the ICA contexts of the top five States of origin, we argue the decline in ICA is from factors within States of origin rather than U.S. policy. Though ICA benefits individual children’s development, it can cause harm at a systems level, so the decline in ICA has mixed implications for vulnerable children.

美国跨国收养政策自2004年达到顶峰以来的发展

摘要本文探讨了美国跨国收养(ICA)政策对弱势儿童的影响。我们回顾了2004-2018年的政策和做法，包括:(1)2008年《海牙公约》的实施;(2)2017年海牙收养机构认证实体的变化。通过分析前五大移民来源国的ICA背景，我们认为ICA的下降是由移民来源国内部的因素造成的，而不是美国的政策。虽然ICA有利于儿童个体的发展，但它可能在系统层面造成伤害，因此ICA的下降对弱势儿童的影响是复杂的。

期刊介绍： Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
