Abstract
- The transracial adoption of children into white communities is a growing phenomenon. Unfortunately, transracially adopted children are more likely to face identity issues, mental health concerns, and racism in white K-12 schools due to their lack of access to understanding, support, and resources. In order for transracially adopted children to thrive academically and emotionally, it is essential that educators become aware of the unique challenges transracial families face. In this paper, we will examine the challenges transracially adopted children face in white K-12 schools and provide strategies for educators to create welcoming learning communities that empower transracially adopted children and their transracial families.
