Transracial Parenting

Transracial parenting is rewarding but it is essential that resource parents like yourself are knowledgeable about their child’s experiences with the world, which will look very different than the parent’s own journey through the world. This packet was created to give parents insight to their child’s unique needs and experiences and to provide ideas of how to support their youth. This packet is a compilation of collective wisdom and resources, specifically designed to encourage, inform and strengthen your parenting journey. It could come in handy for your family over time even if you don’t use it all right now. Topics include: Raising Kids Multicuturally, Transracial Adoption: A History in Black & White, Looking Back: Where Do I Belong, Today: Embracing Differences, Connecting with the Black Community, Transracial and Transcultural Adoption, Helping Your Child Develop a Positive Racial/Ethnic Identity, Developing a Plan to Preserve and Maintain Cultural Heritage, Stages of Ethnic Identity and information on Native American Children and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
