Re: How much contact should adopted PoC children have with the culture of their birth?

[personal profile] blunderbuss 2013-06-30 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think some of that attitude came from reports of some families adopting from another culture but naming their kids a nice generic white name and doing everything they could to sever their new children from that icky old one and immerse them in the superior western one. And when the kid had identity issues growing up, the parents were so confused, because why would you care about that culture when ours is so much nicer?

Especially with some attitudes, especially in some conversative christian groups, that they're 'rescusing' these kids from bad cultures/religions and are going to raise them 'right'.

But just pointing out that cross-cultural adoption can have a lot of problems does not mean its ALWAYS wrong. If we stopped doing things because some assholes were fucking it up, we wouldn't do ANYTHING.
