By the aftermath of the Greek Civil War and by the new conditions of the global Cold War, more than 3,000 Greek children were placed in the United States, with fast-track adoption procedures ranged from legal to highly irregular. Humanitarian rescue or kid pro quo? Or both? Historian Gonda Van Steen tracks the blueprint for the first large-scale international adoptions, providing essential information to the hundreds of adoptees and their descendants, whose lives are still affected today.
