Global commercial surrogacy and international adoption
Over the decades, there have been numerous trends in the formation of family for those experiencing infertility. Adoption – initially domestic but now mostly international – has long been a prevailing method, with a dual outcome of also finding homes for parentless children. Those would-be parents with a stronger desire for genetic relatedness have turned to assisted reproductive technologies for the creation of their families. In the 21st centur…
Pathways to parenting in New Zealand
In New Zealand there are many ways to become a parent, including two‐parent families of heterosexual and homosexual couples, single parents, adoptive parents, kin carers, whāngai arrangements, long‐term fostering, guardianship and assisted reproductive technologies. In this paper we discuss the different pathways to parenthood, how they have come about, and New Zealand's laws, policies and practices that make them possible but also challenging. T…
A Theoretical Look at Biculturalism in Intercountry Adoption
Intercountry adoption has been, and continues to be, a popular method of family formation worldwide, as well as a means of providing homes for children who would otherwise remain parentless. The popularity of this social welfare practice suggests that countless families continue to face the challenges of raising children whose ethnicities derive from two different ethnic backgrounds. Yet, virtually no research exists on the development of a bicul…
Interest in and identification with the birth culture
Interviews with 44 families in New Zealand who had adopted children from Russia or Romania found that parents’ interest in and children’s exposure to the birth culture were related to the children’s birth culture interest, but less related to their ethnic identification with the birth culture
The Ethnic Identification of Same-Race Children in Intercountry Adoption
Intercountry adoption is a worldwide phenomenon that has been drawing an ever-increasing amount of research attention. The vast majority of that research has focused on transracial adoptive relationships and, in particular, the ethnic socialization and adjustment of children adopted into racially different families. Very little is known about the ethnic identity development of internationally adopted children who are racially similar to their ado…
Intercountry Adoption of Eastern European Children in New Zealand
Virtually all of the research on the importance of culture in adoption has been on transracial adoption. Little is known about the importance of culture when racially similar children are adopted. Rhoda Scherman and Niki Harré interviewed 112 New Zealand adoptive families of primarily European descent, with 162 predominately Russian and Romanian adoptive children, concerning their experiences and attitudes about the importance of their children's…
