In the 1980s Asian Americans became the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States in terms of percentage growth. As part of this growth, the number of those who are multiracial and adopted from Asia is increasing significantly. These particular Asian Americans face unique political and cultural challenges from Asians and non-Asians alike. While many struggle to fit into both cultures, many are creating their own identity that unites, rather than separates, their experiences.
