Abstract

Abstract Transracial adoption (TRA) has been practised and researched in wealthy industrialized countries for decades, but there is limited literature about this practice in low- and middle-income countries like South Africa, where it is an uncommon and relatively new practice. Transracial adoption is heavily influenced by the context in which it occurs. Particular contextual features make South Africa well placed to showcase a different form of transracial adoption. This paper starts filling in the gap in the international literature by outlining historical, socio-economic and cultural features that influence the practice of transracial adoption and the experiences of transracial adoptive families in South Africa.

跨种族收养:南非作为一个特例

摘要跨种族收养（TRA）在富裕的工业化国家已经实践和研究了几十年，但在南非等中低收入国家，关于这种做法的文献有限，在那里这是一种罕见且相对较新的做法。跨种族收养在很大程度上受到其发生的背景的影响。特殊的背景特征使南非能够很好地展示不同形式的跨种族收养。本文通过概述影响南非跨种族收养实践的历史、社会经济和文化特征以及跨种族收养家庭的经历，开始填补国际文献中的空白。

期刊介绍： Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
