This article examines how the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co‐operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) plays a central role in justifying the institution of legal adoption. The Hague Adoption Convention has often been regarded as a response to the challenges that the “global situation” brings to adoption practice. Based on private international law, the agreement contains protocols and norms to ensure the protection of the child in intercountry adoption. In the article, I propose that the Hague Convention can be understood as a “transparency device”; a complex assemblage working in pursuit of global “good governance.” The device, however, also operates as justification within the institutional domain, allowing adoption agencies to make distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate adoptions. Idemonstrate how the logic of transparency disguises as much as it promises to reveal. While the doctrine's aim is to validate adoptability and combat trafficking, it also helps to mainstream Euro‐American adoption knowledge to other parts of the world.

使儿童通过国际私法：制度与道德的制定

本文探讨了《关于在跨国收养方面保护儿童和进行合作的海牙公约》（《海牙收养公约》）如何在为合法收养制度辩护方面发挥中心作用。《海牙收养公约》通常被认为是对“全球局势”给收养做法带来的挑战的回应。根据国际私法，该协议包含确保在跨国收养中保护儿童的协议和规范。在本文中，我建议将《海牙公约》理解为“透明手段”；一个追求全球“善治”的复杂团体。但是，该设备也可以作为机构范围内的辩护，使收养机构可以区分合法收养和非法收养。展示透明的逻辑如何伪装成它希望揭示的内容。虽然该学说的目的是验证收养能力和打击贩运，但它也有助于将欧美收养知识主流化到世界其他地区。
