4、m South Korea, a counselor at the Childrens Home Society of Minnesota warned the couple that if they chose to raise a child from Korea, “you will no longer be Americans. You will be Korean Americans. “The Boyds took the leap and became the proud parents of daughters Sarah, 14, and Anna, 11. Their ho
5、me is filled with Korean art and artifacts, they have traveled to South Korea several times, Sarah takes part in a local Korean dance troupe with other adopted kids, and both girls attend “culture camp“ a weeklong summer camp in Wisconsin where young Korean adoptees learn about their native culture,
6、 food and music. “Maybe weve gone a little overboard, but we feel we didnt have much of a choice,“ says Brian,“ We wanted our girls to feel connected to their birthright.“ There was a time when families who adopted children from a different ethnic or racial group were advised to cut ties to the past
7、 and assimilate the youngsters as completely as possible. Today adoption advocates agree that embracing the birth culture of these children is vital for parents raising kids from a race or culture other than their own. “When you raise a child of another race, you need to realize that you become an i
8、nterracial family and to make use of every possible resource you can find to integrate with your childs birth culture,“ says Cheri Register, author of Are Those Kids Yours? Raising Children Adopted from Other Countries. Experts on bicultural adoptions have learned such lessons from years of experien
9、ce. Susan Cox, 50, who works for Holt International, the oldest overseas-adoption agency in the US and the organization that arranged her own adoption from South Korea in 1956, learned them firsthand. She was adopted by Oregon dairy farmers Marvin and Jane Gourley in the earliest wave of babies brou
10、ght into American homes and hearts after the Korean War. The Gourleys dealt with their daughters Asian identity in a way that reflected the thinking of the time: they loved her unconditionally and encouraged her to be a good American. Yet as Cox grew up in tiny Brownsville, questions of identity and
11、 race were always simmering(内心充满 ) just beneath the surface of her all-American childhood. A look in the mirror told Cox that she was different from her parents and three of her sisters, and childhood experiences emphasized the racial isolation from her loving family she sometimes felt. “In any new
12、situation, I felt I always had to explain who I was and where I was from,“ she recalls. It was the steady flow of orphaned and abandoned Korean children like Cox, adopted into American homes in the 1950s, that started the trend of transracial adoptions here. The numbers have jumped since then: accor
13、ding to its records, in 2001 more than 19,000 children from other countries a figure that has tripled over the past five years were adopted into American families. And since legislation passed in 1995 dictating that adoption from the foster-care system be color-blind, interest in transracial adoptio
14、n has also boomed. David Glotzer, 53, an investment adviser, and Charlotte Meyer, 49, an emergency-room nurse, didnt set out to cross the color line to become parents, but they didnt hesitate to do so when given the opportunity to adopt Aaron, now 11. Daughter Hannah, 7, followed, Both children are
15、African American, but Glotzer, who is Jewish and from New York City, and Meyer, a Catholic who grew up in Phoenix, Ariz., say their family deals with racial boundaries daily. Meyer had to take a class to learn how to braid and care for her daughters hair properly, and Glotzer sits on the board of PA
16、CT, the nonprofit agency based in San Francisco that helped arrange their kids adoptions. Glotzer and Meyer also decided to live only in racially integrated neighborhoods in Oakland and Berkeley, Calif. They turned down a chance to move to New England, where they doubted they would be able to find a
17、 similarly diverse community. “We have made major life choices about where to live and who our friends are in order to create an environment for our children thats right for them,“ Glotzer says, “We want them to have lots of black role models and to be around lots of people who look like them. I wil
18、l never be black, as they axe. And they will never be white, like us. But we can all go back and forth between the two worlds.“ There is, of course, the danger of trying too hard. Cautions are:“ Some people overload on cultural traditions without really knowing what theyre about. “The trick, the exp
19、erts say, is to expose kids to their birth culture while keeping in mind that interests may change as the children grow. Andrew James Marco Nelson, 15, and dad Jim went to Peru last year for Andrews first visit to his birth country. “It was amazing,“ he says. “I loved the colorful art everywhere, an
20、d I liked seeing people on the street who looked like me.“ Now he is taking Spanish lessons back home in Ann Arbor, Mich., and has worked as a counselor at a Latin American-culture camp for adopted kids. Andrews sister Malia, 11, was adopted from Bolivia. “We hadnt spent time in Latin America before
21、 the kids, but our children have brought us into this culture, and it is part of us,“ says their mother Kathi. Raising children of a race or culture different from their own means parents must make deliberate choices of the sort birth families seldom have to think about. Experts have several recomme
22、ndations for parents who willingly climb aboard that roller coaster to smooth out the ride for the family: -NAME Incorporate your childs birth name into his or her American name, and use it with affection. Many parents choose to use their childs birth name as a middle name. -NEIGHBORHOOD If possible
23、, live in an ethnically diverse area where your children will see people of various races and cultures. Some parents hire baby-sitters from their childrens homeland who can share native stories and customs with the kids. -ACTIVITIES Have lots of art, artifacts, books, toys and music from your childs
24、 birth country in your borne. Learn as much as possible about your childs native holidays and celebrations, and incorporate some of these into your family traditions. Keep up with major current events and sporting events from your childs native culture. -PEOPLE Seek out positive role models in the c
