On the Basis of Gender: A Medical-Legal Review of Barriers to Healthcare for Transgender and Gender-Expansive Patients
Transgender individuals will seek medical intervention for transition-related services as well as medical treatment for general health needs similar to cisgender individuals. However, people in the transgender community face unique barriers to treatment such as the lack of knowledge among health-care professionals, insurance coverage, and legal protections. This paper reviews barriers, major legal cases, and federal policy related to the health n…
“It’s just easier”: Reflections on the intersections of kinship, race, and ethnicity in Asian American adoptive families
This paper reports Phase II findings of an exploratory study of 26 families who have adopted children with Asian heritage, where at least one parent is Asian American. In-depth interviews provided a rich exploration of parents’ motivations to kin through adoption, the ways in which race and ethnicity factored into their child-selection preferences (if at all), their assumptions about their ability to create kinship bonds with an adopted child, an…
Criminal, Victim, or Ally? Examining the Role of Sex Workers in Addressing Minor Sex Trafficking
The absence of representation from the sex industry in efforts to address the commercial sexual exploitation of children is striking. “Voices” that get heard are generally limited to survivor testimony, while those who are currently in “the life” are excluded, despite the fact that many enter into prostitution underage and would have been defined as child sex trafficking victims under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. This article explores …

Operation Babylift or Babyabduction: Implications of the Hague Convention on the humanitarian evacuation and ‘rescue’ of children
English The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption does not fully protect children from the purportedly well-intended, but illegal, humanitarian impulses to evacuate children in times of crisis, as evidenced by Operation Babylift and the attempt to airlift children from Chad. French La Convention de la Haye sur la Protection des Enfants et la Coopération relative à l’adoption internatio…
From Kim Chee to Moon Cakes: F eeding A sian A doptees ' I maginings of C ulture and S elf
A study of Korean adoptive parents and findings from “The Gathering of the First Generation of Adult Korean Adoptees” were analyzed to explore the role of food in constructing their multiple identities and connection to their birth heritage. Both parents and adoptees seemed to view food and other consumable cultural markers with some degree of ambivalence. Families largely encountered ethnic foods outside of the context of the home, in public set…
Born in China: Birth Country Perspectives on International Adoption
International adoption has been presented in the literature almost exclusively from a dominant western perspective with little consideration for that of the sending countries. This study seeks to capture Chinese perceptions of international adoption. The inextricable relationship between China's family planning policies and the placing of orphans in the diaspora for adoption led to a sample which included government officials (N = 12), welfare in…
Caucasian Parents and Korean Adoptees: A Survey of Parents' Perceptions
This study explored the transracial adoption experiences of Caucasian parents who adopted children from Korea. Self-report data from parents of 117 adoptive families were used to compare mothers and fathers' perceptions in three key areas: parent reasons for adopting, family adjustment related to the adoption, and racial identity of adoptees. On the topic of adoptee's racial identity, parents' perceptions were compared over a seven-year period. O…
