The Long-Term Effects of Transracial Adoption

Abstract

Based on a national survey of 372 adoptive families, the authors compare and contrast the long-term adjustments of Colombian, Korean, and Afro-American transracial adoptees with those of in-racially adopted whites. After adoptees had been in their adoptive homes for at least six years, the results showed that the adolescent and school-aged transracial adoptees were no more poorly adjusted than their in-racially adopted counterparts. This study provides additional confirmation of the utility of transracial placement as an effective policy option for homeless minority children.
