Description
This research is an in-depth, long-term project. It examines the impact of international adoptions on the ways that people in the United States are thinking about families and how they are constituted. It is designed by Professor Linda J. Seligmann, an anthropologist at George Mason University. It looks at how racial mixing, identity, and family structures and dynamics are understood within the context of transnational and transracial adoption.This research is funded by the Center for Global Studies and the Office of the Provost at George Mason University.
We are currently looking for parents, children, and extended family members interested in participating in the study whose families include children adopted from China, from Russia, or African-American children adopted transracially in the United States.
