Summary:

"In this video interview, transracial adoptees discuss their childhood, the identity issues which have carried through into their adulthood, and suggestions to improve the future of transracial adoptions. While most adoptees face questions about their identity and roots, children adopted into transracial families face the additional struggles of racial identity, belonging, and social prejudice. At a time in one's youth when being accepted is so important, transracial adoptees struggle to find their place at home and in the world. This video also brings to light several important factors that should be examined in the transracial adoption process. By watching this video, you will learn several common identity issues transracial adoptees face; understand why it is so important to an adoptee to maintain a connection to his or her culture of origin; and gain an understanding of ways to ease adoptees' transitions into a new family and community. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
