How Changes in Sending Countries Influenced Patterns of Interracial Families Through Intercountry Adoption
The racial characteristics of children adopted from abroad by American parents have fluctuated sharply over time in response to changing legislation and attitudes toward intercountry adoptions in the United States and the sending countries.

Our analyses, using the 2008–20…
