International adoption, an integral part of transracial adoption creates this huge gap between

the parents and the child's culture. The race factor and differences in biological culture might
be the biggest hindrance. The humongous obstacle being the culture shock, which needs to be
taken off at a tender age. Thus, countries try to promote domestic adoption of these children
in adoption homes and keep these adoptees before they are finally been adopted
internationally later. The cultural gap is cured through a constant acquaintance of parents and
the child before been handed over so that the parents and the child create a healthy bonding
through mutual understanding. 
In the United States in 2010, it was pointed out that black children had a lesser adoption rate
than white children, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and
similarly in the UK, with the authoritarian guidelines on adoption making it difficult to adopt
between races.
