As I read your post, Dan, I thought also of "Daneel," the robot/android in Asimov's robot series and also of Data from Star Trek TNG. Both wanted so much to be human, to fit in. I do think this is about relating to others who don't feel they fit in. Another adoptee, Jessie, wrote about not fitting in in her blog post "Silver Linings." I can't insert hyperlinks here, but she is at http://orchidsnowfairy.wordpress.com/. It's a wonderful post. I also think the attraction to sci fi among many adoptees has to do with feeling like an alien - a kind of twist on the not-fitting-in feeling. I thought for sure I was from another planet when I was a little kid. I tried SO HARD to figure out what it was "they" wanted me to do here so I could do it and get back "home."

I don't know if they are specific to being adopted or not. My brother who is the biological son of my parents wrote many stories and watched TV shows with similar themes. I was always fascinated by shows and books with large family themes. Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Hardy Boy type stuff. Those are some interesting thoughts.
