Abstract:
Media reports of interviews with 93 adults transracially adopted as children were content analyzed (percentage agreement = 80%-100%, Cohen's kappas = .61-1.00). Most interviews (63%-88%) involved adoptees who were African American or biracial; in college, graduate school, or employed in professional or managerial occupations; 20-29 years old; and raised in the East or Midwest, with siblings who were the adoptive parents' biological children, other transracial adoptees, or a combination. Forty substantive themes were categorized as adoptive family relationships, direct outcomes, ethnicity and ethnic identification, general adoption issues, and racism experiences. Limitations of media-collected data and the influence of media reports on public opinion and public policies emphasize the importance of scientifically studying controversial phenomena such as transracial adoption.
