You should encourage your adopted transracial child to learn about their racial background. It's a very important part of who they are and you should give them the opportunity and ability to learn more, should they choose to. You can help your adopted transracial child learn more about their background by joining a club, working with groups or finding a church or a community center that affords them the ability to learn more about their culture.
