Adopting for God
Soojin Chung (’18) recently published, Adopting for God: The Mission to Change America through Transnational Adoption. The book explores the role missionaries played in the transnational adoption movement. Among other things, the book reveals how both evangelical and ecumenical Christians challenged Americans to redefine traditional familial values and rethink race matters. By questioning the perspective that equates missionary humanitarianism with unmitigated cultural imperialism, this book offers a more nuanced picture of the rise of an important twentieth-century movement: the evangelization of adoption and the awakening of a new type of Christian mission.
