metadata.value: The problem of international adoption is analyzed. Special interest in international adoption
  is explained by less strict requirements to potential adoptive parents, which reflects the
  asymmetrical nature of interaction between donor and recipient countries on this issue, and
  the need to separate the child from biological parents in order for adoptive parents to insure
  themselves against possible claims from them. The existing system of international adoption
  is considered as a modern form of exploiting developing countries, which have excessive reproductive
  resources. The peculiarities of the international adoption discourse are considered
  on the example of German mass media as one of the acceptor countries that form a solvent
  demand for this service. On the basis of the qualitative content analysis of 205 publications in
  four leading German magazines and newspapers (Der Spiegel, Der Stern, Süddeutsche Zeitung,
  Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), published in the period from 2002 to 2018, the peculiarities
  of topical presentation of international adoption and the formation of attitudes towards
  it among the majority of German citizens are traced. Currently, the areas of discourse on
  international adoption are as follows: expansion of the adoption rights of same-sex families;
  promotion of adoption through the media; legislative changes to eliminate the black market of
  international adoption; surrogacy and the spread of IVF as a factor of reducing international
  adoption; success of adopted children in adulthood; criticism of racism and sexism in adoption;
  and adoption of children with disabilities. Based on the above, it is logical to forecast a
  further increase in demand for international adoption in the host countries despite the backdrop
  of tighter legislation in donor countries.
