SOCIOCULTURAL BARRIERS IN THE ADAPTATION OF ADOPTED CHILDREN AND METHODS FOR OVERCOMING THEM
Abstract
The process of adopting a child involves complex emotional, social, and cultural adjustments. This article examines the sociocultural barriers faced by adopted children and proposes methods to overcome these challenges. Drawing on existing literature and case studies, the article explores the impact of cultural differences, language barriers, and societal perceptions on the adaptation process. It also highlights effective strategies for supporting adopted children and their families in navigating these challenges, including cultural competence training, support groups, and educational interventions.
