Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Statistics show that children from Asia, Eastern Europe, or Latin America attract parents seeking international adoption, while the entire continent of Africa is widely overlooked. Of the 267, 677 children adopted from other countries between 1971 and 2001 in the United States, less than 0.7% came from Africa. However, African children have have received more international attention this year due to celebrity adoptions, to such an extent that "Zahara" and "David" have become recognizable baby names in popular culture. Can this possibly mean a new focus on the African continent as a source country for adoptees? What explanation exists for the remarkable disparity in numbers between Africa and Asia?
