Feel free to lock or move at will.
Story was a YA, which was turned into an anime of Australian origin. It has a boy in a stereotypical quest to find out about his parents since he was double orphaned and support a girl in finding these items. I believe the girl was magical and they end up with each other. I can't remember the title. It think it's about 5 years old or more? It also got an award? But I didn't remember which one.
Also I remember an Afraid of the Dark episode in which a girl is adopted and finds out she is related to Aliens. What was the episode #? (I couldn't find it)
And lastly I have three tropes, but no matching trope pages that I know exist because I've read them. I know they show up in speculative fiction.
Where the story is preaching about say, gay marriage abortion, politics etc and uses adoption as a way to argue it. I've read this--but it's been quite a while since I've seen it because preaching in general was put down. (I did find one--but it's self-published)
Where the parents adopt an alien because they can't have their own children. (Was Superman like this? I can't remember if it ever said if Martha couldn't have children) Spider-man?
The last is where the orphan comes from a foreign country that is cruel to the character and then goes to rescue another one and stays. I think The Horse and His Boy was like that, but I'm separated from the book by a few thousand miles.
If you can remember or confirm the trope, thank you in advance.
