Caucasian Parents and Korean Adoptees: A Survey of Parents' Perceptions.
Bergquist, Kathleen Ja Sook; Campbell, Mary E.; Unrau, Yvonne A.
Adoption Quarterly, v6 n4 p41-58 2003
Explored the transracial adoption experiences of Caucasian parents adopting children from Korea, comparing mothers' and fathers' perceptions regarding reasons for adopting, family adjustment related to the adoption, and racial identity of adoptees. Found that mothers' and fathers' perceptions were more similar than different, and parents downplayed their Korean children's race. Explored implications for post-adoption training for transracial adoptive families. (Author/KB)
