In 1961, the US government established the first formalized provisions for intercountry adoption just as it was expanding America's involvement with Vietnam. As Allison Varzally details in this book, a desire to redeem defeat in Vietnam, faith in the nuclear family, and commitment to capitalism guided American efforts on behalf of Vietnamese youths.
