Intercountry Adoption from China is a detailed look at the post-adoptive views, actions, and experiences of a national sample of families with children from China toward acknowledging their adopted child’s Chinese cultural heritage and the issues they face together as a multicultural family.
The book is written by Jay Rojewski, a professor in UGA’s department of occupational studies, and his wife, Jacy Rojewski, a special education teacher in Madison, Ga., who have adopted two daughters from China.
In addition to detailing issues affecting intercountry adoptees and their families, the authors supplement parents’ beliefs and experiences on these issues with a comprehensive review of available literature. The book also focuses on common experiences and reactions of adoptive families who were, for the most part, firmly ensconced in the cultural mainstream but now find themselves viewed differently by society. These parents find that issues of culture, race, and ethnicity have become an important part of their daily lives.
