Video: Considerations When Parenting Your Transracially Adopted Child(ren)
About the video: There are plenty of myths and facts on the topic of transracial adoption, including who transracial adoptees are, pathways into transracial adoption, and the practices and policies that shape it today. Join Talking Race & Kids in a conversation with Professor Gina E. Miranda Samuels, herself a transracial adoptee researcher and expert, for a look at a few of the common experiences of race and racism faced by transracial adoptive families and people who are transracially adopted, and at issues unique to sub-groups within the community. We'll consider transracial adoption as a unique context in which children learn about race, ethnicity and culture, and what this might mean for parental socialization within and beyond families. And, as always, we'll devote plenty of time to your questions and comments!
Website: Central Vermont Reading to End Racism Blog has great book suggestions
