The Families With Children From China (FCC) special edition of "Adoption Nation: How the Adoption Revolution is Transforming America" is a revised version of Adam Pertman's groundbreaking book, with new essays and updated information on key issues. The updated edition, published in 2006, contains new material highlighting the experiences and contributions of a rapidly growing community of families across the United States. As this book is released, the 50,000th child is being adopted from China into an American family. This remarkable community has been especially active in integrating Chinese culture into family life and has actively sought -- based on the experiences of earlier Asian adoptees -- to learn what aspects of parenting in a transracial family were successful, and where greater sensitivity and different approaches were needed. Because of its activism, visibility, and sheer size, the Chinese adoptive community has played a major role in the revolutionary transformation of adoption in the United States during the past decade.
