“Multicultural families are everywhere! In Dim Sum, Bagels, and Grits, Myra Alperson guides adoptive parents (and parents-to-be) on the journey toward creating a family that represents more than one culture. She discusses:
1. The importance of balancing birth culture and adoptive culture within the family. 2. Finding a community where your children see other “kids like them” (and what to do if this is not possible) 3. Shaping a multicultural home, with appropriate traditions, religious observances, and role models. 4. Developing alternative approaches to the family tree. 5. Facing and addressing anti-ethnic and anti-adoption prejudices.”
