From Washington Post:
Cross-racial adoptions aren’t a new phenomenon. But the sheer number of Americans — most of them white — adopting Chinese babies in a short period of time is changing cultural and racial assumptions.
About 40,000 Chinese adoptees have arrived in the United States since China’s government began easing restrictions on foreign adoptions in 1992, according to U.S. State Department statistics. The country became a popular destination for many prospective parents because of its efficient, secure adoption system and the availability of healthy babies.
