Adoption and narrative in the digital age: how are social and digital media changing adoption?
2016
This thesis explores some of the twenty-first century social networking challenges
faced by all those involved in adoption. Written as an account of some fundamental
changes taking place, where adoption and social networking have collided, this work
examines some of the emerging tensions. Although much of the research is UKfocused,
the changes within adoption in relation to social networking are more widely
applicable. The inclusion of research material from other countries, including the US,
is representative of these changes taking place within the field of adoption.
Through the examination of popular media and adoption as narratives, an
indication of social networking’s pervasiveness and the unforeseen changes in the
provision of care of looked after children begin to emerge. In this new and still
uncharted digital territory, all aspects of what it means to be adopted continue to evolve
in the context of networked media cultures.
