Of course I wouldn't randomly go with some family as a new member of theres. This is silly. He never was going to get adopted, he just randomly needed jobs, and friends he met along the way in his life provided him with such. For Chris McCandless it wasn't about finding a new family, but finding all the places in the world that he hadn't explored yet. He needed to eat so he dropped by a friend and worked and at there. Chris was very independent. he didn't have to rely on anyone else. He went to Alaska because he wanted to be one with the wild, and live life with all of the animals and nature. Theres a point in the book where he wass so proud he could identify berries to eat. He didn't want to be fed those berries, he wanted to feed himself.

Adoption Response
"If you were Christopher McCandless, you weren't fond of your family and didn't want to go back to them, and someone who you liked, respected, and enjoyed being with asked to adopt you would you do it? Why do you think Chris didn't want to? If he did would he have still gone to Alaska?"

Yea but i think the point is that he created such a deep connection with some of these people. A connection that he apparently didnt even have with his own parents. But for me it would still be an unlikely option, as family is always family.
