In the International Office for Children’s Affairs, staff must handle families waiting to be matched with a suitable adoptive child as well as adopted adults looking to find out more about their origins. History and geography conceal deeply personal questions: what exactly does it mean to ‘welcome’ in Berlin a 7 year-old child born in Vietnam? How to infuse with life and meaning this exile? How can the adopted in adulthood build a sense of self if they know nothing about their birth, their continent, the life they left ? And in such a geopolitical storm, how should family be conceived ?
