Abstract: Abstract Chapter 6 is the first of three chapters exploring intercountry adoptions (ICAs). Chapter 6 provides a background on the four waves of ICAs to the United States (U. S.) and posits the beginning of a fifth wave from Africa. Chapter 7 uses data from the Department of Immigration Services (INS), the Hague Convention, the U. S. Census International database, and the World Bank to analyze the current adoptive flows to the U. S. Chapter 8 continues this analysis of ICAs as migratory flows through global analyses of ICAs from the global south to the global north.
