在所有已知的社会中，收养他人所生子女的做法都以某种形式存在。虽然来自世界各地的民族志专着都对当地收养和/或寄养做法做了许多简短的提及，但直到最近，很少有持续的解释兴趣针对这一社会现象。随着跨国收养的突然和迅速增加，西欧和北美的人们从南方国家和前苏联帝国收养儿童，人类学对收养的新兴趣已经被观察到。本审查的地方，通过坚定的传统理论亲属关系，并探讨了价值观附加到一个感知的生物和社会关系之间的关系，在一些不同的社会环境中，通过正在实行。
Adoption of children born by others is practiced in some form or another in all known societies. Although ethnographic monographs from all over the world have made numerous brief references to local adoption and/or fostering practices, very little sustained interpretative interest has, until recently, been directed at this social phenomenon. With the sudden and rapid increase in transnational adoption—people in Western Europe and North America adopt children from countries in the south and the former Soviet empire—a new-found anthropological interest in adoption has been observed. This review places adoption firmly within the tradition of theoretical kinship and explores the values attached to a perceived relationship between biological and social relatedness in a number of different social settings in which adoption is being practiced.
