| Περίληψη: | This chapter examines the Dutch adoption debates from 1880 (when debates in the Dutch East Indies increased) to the present. What arguments were used in the press and in the First and Second Chambers to justify or criticize adoptions? What explains the continuity and discontinuity in these debates? This chapter contributes to the literature by analyzing the debates about adoptions in the Chambers and the press, looking at numerous countries of origin over a long period, including the colonial era. The chapter thus focuses more on changes in arguments for and against adoption and less on policy and practice.
