Adult Asian adoptee curious about Americans adopting Asians?
|
As a child, I was confused about how I fit in the American culture, of course, because children are so cruel. What steps, as an adopter of an Asian child, do you make to prepare your child for the interracial repercussions?

We are adopting from China. We are very concerned with helping our child learn more about their culture and feel secure in theirselves. We have many friends who are chinese and other asian nationalities, my husband and I are trying to learn Mandarin chinese (which is not easy but we are trying), we have joined the local FCC group, we have already found a school that teaches children Mandarin chinese and chinese culture, we attend the local CNY festivities and local dragon boat festival, we read books on chinese culture and adoption in general. I know all children get teased growing up but we hope to have skills to help our children deal with the issues that arise out of transracial adoption. |

Kids are cruel. They pick on other kids, it's a fact of everyone's life.
If it wasn't the fact you're an asian adopted by a white family, it would be something else. |

One of our adopted children is South American Indian with a splash of Spanish - like all kids, she ran into some obnoxious kids at school and in the neighborhood over the years, but the only overt racism we have ever run into is from school administrators |

For one thing, I live in a multicultural neighborhood, where my kids are not the only Asian kids.
I also make sure we participate in activities with other families who have adopted in China, so they know other kids from families who adopted in China. (This has worked out better with one daughter than with another.) |
