Investigating racial/cultural identity confusion, perceived discrimination and personal experiences of adoptees is a key first step to understanding how transracial adoptees develop and psychologically adjust to an often unaccepting, demeaning, and skeptical world. Sense of self-identity is greatly associated with mental health, making the strength of an individual’s racial/cultural ties a strong predictor of psychological stability. Sociological theories emphasize how cultural isolation and lack of culture-matching between parent and child contributes to identity confusion in transracial adoptees. Transracial adoptees may require additional support to combat identity confusion on top of race-related stress that comes from simply being a person of color in the United States. Despite the mental health struggles that transracial adoptees may face as a result of discrimination and social isolation, strong and positive identity-building as a multicultural family can protect children from the psychological consequences of racial bias and foster healthy sense of self.
