The common theme of the listed books is adoption, exploring the experiences of adoptive parents, adopted children, birth families, and foster care. The books cover a wide range of genres including memoirs, historical fiction, children's literature, and guidebooks. Many of the stories focus on the challenges and joys of building strong family attachments through adoption while others explore themes of identity, belonging, loss, and forgiveness. Some books also delve into the darker side of adoption such as corrupt adoption agencies or kidnapping for profit.
