Adoption Across Cultures

Adoption Across Cultures

September 18, 2025

Adoption has shaped families for millennia, from ancient Rome, where it secured political alliances, to modern international adoptions from countries like China or Ethiopia. In the U.S., about 2% of children are adopted, per the Department of Health and Human Services, creating families through choice rather than biology. Cultural practices, like Native American kinship adoptions, emphasize community ties. Families often celebrate Gotcha Day, marking adoption anniversaries, blending diverse heritages into unified family narratives.
