Culture Keeping

  • Jacobson, Heather

“Since the early 1990s, close to 250,000 children born abroad have been adopted into the United States. Nearly half of these children have come from China or Russia. Culture Keeping offers the first comparative analysis of these two popular adoption programs.”
“Heather Jacobson examines these adoptions by focusing on a relatively new social phenomenon: the practice by international adoptive parents, mothers in particular, of incorporating aspects of their children’s cultures of origin into their families’ lives. “Culture Keeping” is now standard in the adoption world, though few adoptive parents, the majority of whom are white and native-born, have experience with the ethnic practices of their children’s homelands prior to adopting.”
