Discuss examples of the “twists and turns” that Stone alludes to.

Stone provides examples of how kinship and family have responded to the stresses of migration and immigration caused by the forces of globalization and neo-liberalism. While marriage, gender roles, and family formation have been affected, Stone observes that “…the transformation of kinship is taking its own twists and turns in a way that meshes the old and the new” (Stone, 294). Discuss examples of the “twists and turns” that Stone alludes to. Include in your discussion how concepts of “in the best interests of the child” have changed as a function of the codification of policies and regulations governing international adoptions by international conventions on children. How are differing ideologies regarding the “best interests of the child” addressed in law and in practice? How, in international adoptions, do we balance protecting children while at the same time incorporating differing concepts of kinship in different cultures?
