Transracial Adoption: It's Multi-Categorical Controversies in Society

Transgendered adoption: This is a multi-disciplinary discussion in society, there are many people adopted in the world, but always there is a conflict about adoption and ethnicity of that ethnic group. Many people believe that racial should not have a contributing factor when choosing a family, as long as they are adopted by a family whose children are considerate, considerate and nourishing. But I think the reverse is true.

Adoption of a transgender refers to the adoption of a race or ethnic different from the adopted parent. According to a nationally adopted parent survey, four of the ten children adopted in the United States are adopted in the transgender. The adopted parents are Caucasian and most adopted children are not white. However, Hannah Rau and Lisa Wade (2013) from sociological images point out that Caucasians are less likely to be actually used than non-Caucasians. Historically, the adoption of transgender is unusual. In the 1970 's, the National Black Social Workers' Association thought that white families should not adopt African - American children for some reason to protect African - American families. Instead, they believe that African-American children should stay with their families. Until the 1990s, social welfare workers attempted to place children in adoptive families with ethnic background for their children. It changed in the 1990s.

The adoption of transgender has a long history and there are many controversies. Since 1968, a law has been passed allowing families to adopt outside their race. In 1972, there were few known black nationalist groups called the Association of Black Social Workers Association, and when they opposed the practice of transgendered adoption, they became famous. They call this practice "cultural massacre" (Republic 6). The law passed in 1968 has not been changed, but the number of transgender hires has decreased to 1, 569 within one year. By 1975, it dramatically decreased to just 800 (6). Another law on adoptive adoption of transgender was adopted in 1980 and the Ministry of Health and Welfare obliges to supervise adoptable foster children every 6, 12, and 18 months. However, this practice has never been done (6)

We will return to a real controversy including cross-cultural adoption. Cross-cultural adoption is culturally harmful for children? No Because white couple uses children of different races, children have to look for their legacy and ethnic identity. Some children are worried that they will lose their cultural ties when children are cultivated in his culture (Smith 1041). It is important to protect the children's national identity and allow the children to understand their heritage. Many children adopted in white couples are proud of their ethnic and ethnic backgrounds, including biological and cultural backgrounds (St. John 152). In studies by Mcroy and Zurcher, black children raised by white adoptive parents have the same self-esteem and good self-concept as black children raised by black adoptive parents (Pohl 49).
