Perspectives on Transracial Adoption and Cultural Identity
Highlights
Cultural Expectations and Personal Values
A father discusses his disagreement with adoption agency mandates that require parents to raise children according to their specific ancestral culture. He argues that culture is defined by shared values rather than race and intends to teach his children about various cultures through a comparative lens centered on American and Christian values.
