The Developmental Progression of Transracial Experiences among South Korean Adoptees: A Review of the Literature
Thorough examination of the literature revealed no comprehensive reviews detailing the experiences of South Korean–U.S. adoptees as transnationally adopted persons. To address this need, multiple databases, keywords/keyword combinations, and fugitive literature were used. Data from the review were coded, categorized, and analyzed, with five themes emerging: (1) intrusive interactions, (2) boundary management, (3) discrimination and exclusion, (4)…
A family of trust: African American parents' stories of adoption disclosure
Dramatic increases in same-race adoptions of African American children have stimulated interest in the experiences of these families, including those related to disclosure. Data from interviews with 27 African American adoptive parents (7 mothers and fathers interviewed conjointly, 13 mothers interviewed alone) from 20 different families revealed the following themes: (a) efforts to prevent trauma to the child; (b) respect for the child's differe…
Transracial adoptees in the media: 1986-1996
Media reports of interviews with 93 adults transracially adopted as children were content analyzed (percentage agreement = 80%-100%, Cohen's kappas = .61-1.00). Most interviews (63%-88%) involved adoptees who were African American or biracial; in college, graduate school, or employed in professional or managerial occupations; 20-29 years old; and raised in the East or Midwest, with siblings who were the adoptive parents' biological children, othe…
Who Seeks to Adopt a Child: Findings from the National Survey of Family Growth (1995)
Data from Cycle 5 of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) (1995) were analyzed to identify factors that could predict whether a woman 18-44 years of age would ever have sought to adopt a child. Of the 10,019 women in the specified age group overall, 508 (5.1 percent) had ever sought to adopt, including 5.4 percent of white women and 5.2 percent of black women. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted for all women and for white…
Effect of Transracial/Transethnic Adoption on Children's Racial and Ethnic Identity and Self-Esteem: A Meta-Analytic Review
This paper reports the results of a meta-analytic review of comparative studies of racial identity and self-esteem in transra-cially/transethnically-adopted, inracially-adopted/same ethnic group, and biologic African-American and Mexican-American children. Six studies, including one longitudinal study with four phases, met the established criteria. Study level effect sizes were calculated. Twenty-nine dependent measure effect sizes were also calc…
