There are several similarities and differences between Ali and Sohrab's adoptions throughout the novel The Kite Runner. Both Ali and Sohrab's parents were killed, making both characters orphans at a young age. Ali's parents died when two wealthy young men hit them while driving.
High on hashish and mast on French wine, they struck and killed a Hazara husband and wife on the road to Paghman (Hosseini 22).
Sohrab's parents were both killed by the Taliban. Rahim Khan tells Amir,
Hassan protested again. So they took him to the street—and order him to kneel—and shot him in the back of the head...Farzana came screaming and attacked them—shot her too. Self-defense they claimed later (Hosseini 157).
Both Ali and Sohrab were Hazaras who were adopted by Pashtuns. Once they were adopted, Ali lived in Afghanistan with Amir's grandfather, while Sohrab was taken to live in America with Amir. Also, the men who adopted Ali and Sohrab were both considered successful individuals. Ali was adopted by Amir's grandfather who was a respected judge, and Amir is regarded as a prominent author in America.
