All in the mixed Family: a tendency to USA
Five years ago, said Ann Tollefson, his family was watching. Nobody was openly hostile, but often their children - adopted by China, India and Vietnam - and ask: “How much does it cost?”Today is another story. There are more families of mixed race in America, more than ever - even with Ms. Tollefson suburb of Saint-Louis.
New 2000 census show that more than 1 child in 6 is adopted by another race of his parents. And after further analysis by William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington, from 1 to 15 weddings the USA interrassisch - 1 to 23 in 1990.
America “has always, of course, was People of Color,” said Adam Pertman adoption expert. “I concept is bigger than America is … begun to accept that this is a nation of color. We now see that not only within cities, and that, within the family. ”
Tollefson, he sees in their community. Hers was the only mixed race family, if she and her first husband, she adopted in 1995. Today, three other children from families China, and some over Guatemala. It makes a difference, she said: your children are happy, but they seem to relax a little more when they have other races mixed families.
“You warm up faster. They are not sticky. Try new things more when they are human, as we present it,” she says.
And they notice a difference in how people in their family: “People are much more accepting today …. You know the ripple thing, a drop in water and rings? It is difficult to find someone who has not been affected by international adoption. ”
After the first time, the profile of children adopted America, published in a report Friday Census, 1.6 million children under 18 years in adoptive. Of those polled, 17 percent of their adopted families multiracial, and 13 percent were born abroad.
Mr. Pertman, director of the adoption of Evan B. Donaldson Institute, said the number of adoptions in the USA from abroad has experienced over the past ten years.
“If one considers the number of people, the adoption of Asia, Latin America - more than half of adoption from countries where children are not something to see how their parents’ he said. “That’s started, for a difference in how people feel about the family, inheritance, maintain vis-à-vis the nature, you name it.”
More people are people to marry, not to look at it as good. But Mr. Frey, a detailed analysis microsamples census data, found that figures varied from State to State. In New Mexico, for example, 16 percent of all marriages were Interracial, whereas in Mississippi, it is 2 percent.
“There are two ways of research,” said Frey. “One, it is rapidly increased in real terms. And secondly, it is quite concentrated in a few countries …. It is still a small part of all marriages, including those who are white.
It is noteworthy that, unlike most analysts population census, Frey treated as a racial group Latinos, and almost half of the 3.7 million marriages interrassisch it also has a Latino.
Frey lists some countries with the highest rate of mixed marriages race - New Mexico, California and Hawaii - “melting pot”, should read: All have several significant minority groups, not just one.
