Abstract

This study examined groups of cultural and racial socialization using latent profile analysis (LPA) in a sample of White adoptive mothers of Chinese girls. This study also examined mothers' and girls' characteristics associated with group membership. Participants were 215 White mothers who had adopted Chinese girls and were members of an adoption support group. LPA revealed four groups of cultural and racial socialization based on patterns of cultural and racial socialization measured by four subscales of the Transracial Adoption Parenting Scale–Revised. The study reveals the importance of using a range of approaches to support international adoptive families. Furthermore, the profiles of cultural and racial socialization hold implications for future socialization research and post-adoption support with respect to the groups to be prioritized and the strategies to be employed. In particular, post-adoption support efforts may be targeted on groups of international adoptive parents who are in the group, low cultural and low racial socialization.
