| | Transracial Adoptees Psychological Adjustment |
 | | Through the use of survey questionnaires, the study accessed the racial and cultural identity and psychological adjustment of 51 adult transracial adoptees (ages 19-36 years old) who were the biological offspring of at least one non-White individual and who were adopted by two White parents. |
 | | "Perhaps the psychological adjustment of transracial adoptees may be influenced more by their parental and family relationships, peer relationships, achievement, or a host of other factors than by the racial and often cultural differences that exist in transracially adopting families," says study author Amanda L Baden, Ph.D., of St. John's University. |
