Statistics relating to Interracial Adoption, are focused primarily about the race percentile and what has changed. I would like to add this information about families. How interracial adoption has been accruing for quite some time, and the fact that it has been increasing since 1990. "Families formed across racial, national, and biological boundaries represent a growing demographic, adding to the pervasive, historical diversity of family forms in the United States (Coontz, 2008). Since 1990, the number of U.S. adoptions of foreign-born orphans has increased in unprecedented numbers, rising from 7,093 children to 12,753 in 2009—an 80% increase: China ranked as the top sending country, and Vietnam ranked as the seventh highest (U.S. Department of State, 2009). Whereas diversification in the family form is not a new phenomenon, it often appears so, given that family communication scholarship on nontraditional families is a relatively recent development."

Steps that can help you to becoming Stable, Happy, Healthy Individual With a Strong Sense of Racial or Cultural Identity are those of which follow. This can help children as well as the family as a whole.

Become intensely invested in parenting; Tolerate no racially or ethnically biased remarks; Surround yourselves with supportive family and friends; Celebrate all cultures; Talk about race and culture; Expose your child to a variety of experiences so that he or she develops physical and intellectual skills that build self-esteem; and Take your child to places where most of the people present are from his or her race or ethnic group.
