Book synopsis

In 2003, there were 39,500 Chinese children living §in the US who were adopted from China. While 113 §were adopted from 1989-1991, in 2002, 5,900 Chinese §children were adopted by US parents. Little is known §about the scientific, psychological, or social §issues surrounding the adopted children and their §parents. The study used a qualitative approach to §assess experiences of US parents who had adopted §Chinese children. In this §study, expected and unexpected results occurred. §Analysis of the interviews yielded six major themes: §1) Parents descriptions of their own childhood §family structure and childhood experiences; 2) §Parents expectations, prior to and during the §adoption experience, for the adoption to improve the §family unit; 3) Changes in the parents §relationships after the adoption; 4) The adoptive §parents expectations of the adopted child; 5) The §most challenging experiences of the adoptive §parents; and 6) the meaning of the adoption for the §parents.
