This study examined the cultural competence of transracial adoptive parents at different stages of adoption. The researcher surveyed 60 transracial adoptive parents and measured their cultural competence in three areas: multicultural planning, racial awareness, and survival skills. Analysis of variance tests found significant differences in cultural competence between parents who had adopted 1-2 years compared to those who adopted over 5 years, especially in multicultural planning. The results suggest that as transracial adoptive parents progress through the years of adoption, they gain more racial and cultural experiences which increase their cultural competence over time.
