Foreign Adoption: An Exploratory Study of One Hundred Thirty-Two Children Referred by the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Placed and Supervised by the Angel Guardian Home, Brooklyn, 1963-64

Angela Grace Tese, Fordham University

Abstract

Research studies concerned with the subject of foreign adoption (and discussed later in this chapter) describe the former conditions in war-torn Europe and discuss the current economic stresses within the European and Asian countries. The reason for such a presentation is to "set the stage" for the underlying purpose and the necessity of migration of alien children to the United States--an economically more fortunate nation. These studies extend the paternalistic attitude of our nation's foreign policy to explain the passage of immigration laws sanctioning adoption from abroad.
