Sociology Aboriginal Social Work Why Are Outcomes

Sociology Aboriginal Social Work Why are outcomes for Aboriginal children who are transracially adopted described as poor? The outcomes for Aboriginal children who are transracially adopted are often not good due to a number of different factors. One factor is that transracial children frequently find it hard to adjust to the new culture in which they find themselves and thus have a hard time figuring out their identity.

Another factor is that they are often victims of racism which makes it very difficult for them to have successful experiences in their new homes. These kids never feel like they really fit into the new place that they are and they do not have a good support system to help them adjust thus their outcomes do not turnout to be good.

After reading Sinclair's research on transracial adoptions, how does this information challenge, change or confirm your views on Aboriginal children adopted into non-Aboriginal families? After reading Identity lost and found: Lessons from the sixties scoop (Sinclair, 2007); my views of transracial adoptions are confirmed. These kids have a very hard time fitting into their new culture because it is often so very different from their own. They are different from everyone that is around them and they know it.

On top of this is seems that no one in the new culture will let them forget that they are different either. Transracially adopted children do not know how to identify with the new culture because it is so different from their own that they often shut down and don't every try. When they do try they are frequently confronted with racism and discrimination which only makes the entire situation worse than it was to start with.

An adopted child who experiences racism and discrimination may not share that with their family because it is not part of their family philosophy. These kids often find that they have no support system to help them deal with the issues that confront them on a daily basis. Without some way to deal with these issues these kids do not learn how to survive in the world after they grown up.

They often find themselves grown and on their own with not sense of who they are or how to go about surviving on their own. Sinclair suggests that there should be systems put into place to assist these kids make this transition when they are adopted by racially different families than their own. This would be a great program to have because it would help to ensure that these kids were given every opportunity to succeed in life. 3.
