The Color Line Exception
Census data show that the number of transracial adoptive households is rising, but white parents are more likely to adopt Hispanic and Asian children than black children. These demographics provide empirical support for the argument that the color line in the United States is evolving from a white/nonwhite divide toward a black/nonblack one. Yet these racial demarcations treat blacks as a monolithic group and hide the potential for subgroup varia…
An Assortative Adoption Marketplace
Among sociologists of the family, there has been relatively little attention paid to child adoption. When it is mentioned, many characterize the process as a universal family form. The goal of this review is to complicate this subject by disaggregating adoption into three different market segments: foster care, domestic, and transnational. Specifically, the paper argues that adoption is an assortative process that stratifies parents and children.…

Residential Racial Diversity
Objective The purpose of this article is to examine whether and how the residential racial diversity of transracially adopted children (i.e., nonwhite children adopted by white parents) varies from those of biological children in white monoracial families and biological children in mixed‐race families. Method Using the restricted access 2009 American Community Survey, we take advantage of the large number of adoptive families not only to investig…
Korean Adoptee Identity
Adopted Korean adolescents face the task of grappling with their identity as Koreans and coming to terms with their adoptive status. In order to explore these dual identities, the authors conducted a person-centered study of the identity profiles of 189 adopted Korean American adolescents. Using cluster analytic procedures, the study examined patterns of commitment to ethnic and adoptive identities, revealing six conceptually unique identity clus…

Is there a (transracial) adoption achievement gap
Are Same-Sex and Single Adoptive Parents More Likely to Adopt Transracially? A National Analysis of Race, Family Structure, and the Adoption Marketplace
This study contributes to the literature on child adoption by providing an analysis of how conceptions of kinship and constructions of race shape how families are sorted and matched in an adoption marketplace. Drawn from a national sample of adoptive households (n = 63,681), the author analyzes whether there is significant variation in the likelihood of white married, single, divorced, and same-sex couples choosing transracial adoption. Results i…
Do Immigrant Minority Parents Have More Consistent College Aspirations for Their Children
Objective. Educational aspirations are an important predictor of eventual attainment. We examine if immigrant parents have higher aspirations for their children compared to native-born parents and whether they are more likely to maintain high aspirations over time. Methods. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K), we document differences in the formation and maintenance of white, black, Hispanic, and As…
