A parallel may exist in the experiences of children adopted
across national, cultural and racial lines. In Canada, Westhues and Cohen
(1994) cautioned twenty years ago that while children in inter-country
adoption generally benefited from the more advantaged social location
of most of their parents, for some the experience of racism complicated
their transition through adolescence. Similarly, in the U.S., where more
of such research has been completed, some adolescents, particularly
ethnic minority adolescents, bear the burden of additional chronic
stressors that are inextricably linked to their social, cultural, and structural positions. Where poverty, neighborhood disorder, community violence, and racial/ethnic discrimination pervade daily life, the buffering effects of family may be compromised (Copeland-Linder, Lambert,
Chen, & Ialongo, 2011; Garbarino, 1985).
