Abstract
:
This study examined the impact of income inequality, citizens' freedom, and the Hague Convention on Adoption to determine their impact upon countries' policies of openness toward intercountry adoption. All three independent variables were drawn from a review of literature on intercountry adoption and Rawls's justice theory and the factors were hypothesized to have a significant impact upon openness to intercountry adoption. After building a dataset from secondary data sources, SPSS was utilized to conduct multiple regression analysis. After analyzing the results of the statistical testing, all three hypotheses were rejected due to non-significant findings.
