Korean adoptees in America -- Historicizing Korean adoption -- Family life and childhood experiences -- Ethnic explorations in early adulthood -- Ethnic explorations in later adulthood -- The ethnic identities of adult adoptees -- Choosing ethnicity, negotiating race
Transnational adoption was once a rarity in the United States, but Americans have been choosing to adopt children from abroad with increasing frequency since the mid-twentieth century. Korean adoptees make up the largest share of international adoptions- 25 percent of all children adopted from outside the United States -but they remain understudied among Asian American groups. What kind of identities do adoptees develop as members of American families and in a cultural climate that often views them as foreigners?
