Mission and Transnational Adoption
Soojin Chung, CGCM student affiliate, recently published an article “Transnational Adoption: A Noble Cause? Female Missionaries as Pioneers of Transnational Adoption, 1945-1965” in Evangelical Missions Quarterly (October 2016). This article reviews biblical and theological grounds for international adoption, followed by a case study of two prominent female missionaries who spearheaded the transnational adoption movement in Korea. In examining these two figures, the author argues that the historical context in which adoption was born was vastly different from the contemporary evangelical adoption boom, which is parent-focused rather than child-centered.
