Who’s Around (and Who’s Not)? Transracial Adoptee Racial-Ethnic Identity in Context
Understanding decision‐making processes of prospective adoptive parents
Family functioning and racial socialization in transracial adoptive families
Using Symbolic Interactionism to Model Transitions to Adoptive Parenthood
This article focuses on symbolic interactionism and its utility when applied to adoptive families. We argue that Mead's (1934, 1956) theoretical concepts of self, generalized other, and shared meaning are underutilized tools for exploring prospective parents' decision of whether to adopt, the transition to adoptive parenthood, and subsequent family adjustment over time. We also advocate for the extension of salience to generalized other, in order…
Do Preparation for Bias and Cultural Socialization Protect Against Discrimination for Transracially Adopted Adolescents
This study of transracially adopted adolescents and their White parents examines the role of two types of parental racial socialization, preparation for bias and cultural socialization, in protecting adoptees from the impact of discrimination. Sixty-six transracially adopted adolescent–parent dyads in the United States completed an online questionnaire. Preparation for bias, and not cultural socialization, protected transracial adoptees from disc…
Engagement in Racial Socialization Among Transracial Adoptive Families With White Parents
Objective To identify predictors of White transracial adoptive parents' engagement in racial socialization with their adopted minority adolescents. Background Racial socialization provides many benefits to racial minority youth, yet not all White parents who adopt transracially engage in this practice. Therefore, it is of value to examine factors that may predict the extent of transracial adoptive parents' engagement in racial socialization, incl…
Preparing Future Faculty and Professionals for Public Health Careers
Recent years have brought rapid growth in schools of public health and an increasing demand for public health practitioners. These trends highlight the need for innovative approaches to prepare doctoral graduates for academic and high-level practice positions. The University of Maryland’s School of Public Health developed a “Preparing Future Faculty and Professionals” program to enrich the graduate education and professional development of its do…
Racial Socialization in Transracial Adoptive Families
Racial socialization protects minority adolescents from stress associated with racial discrimination. The process of racial socialization, however, may be challenging in transracial adoptive families. White parents may struggle with preparing their children for discrimination and fostering the development of racial pride. Thus, transracially adopted youth may be particularly vulnerable to stress resulting from discrimination. This study examines …
