505 0  Introduction: adoption and the difference dilemma -- 
       Adoption, inequality, and the law: the origins of the 
       sealed records controversy -- Adoption research: trends 
       and perspectives -- Debating sealed records: the social 
       construction of search narratives -- Adoption in popular 
       culture: similar yet different -- Conclusion: adoption in 
       context. 
520    Sociologist Katarina Wegar offers a new perspective on 
       adoption and the search debate, placing them within a 
       social context. She argues that Americans who are 
       embroiled in adoption controversies have failed to 
       understand how much the debate, adoption research, and the
       experience of adoption itself are affected by persistent 
       social beliefs that adopted children are different from 
       and somehow inferior to children reared by their 
       biological families. Wegar begins by considering the 
       historical and legal development of adoption and of sealed
       -records policies, showing how kinship ideology, the 
       helping professions, and gender issues intersect to frame 
       adoption policies and the ongoing debate. Drawing on 
       articles in social work and mental health journals, 
       activist newsletters, and autobiographies by search 
       activists, as well as on popular images of adoption 
       portrayed in talk shows and other media, she analyzes the 
       rhetoric to reveal the unconscious biases that exist. She 
       concludes with a discussion of ways in which adoption 
       reformers can avoid perpetuating harmful and confining 
       images of those who participate in adoption.
