“…Again, we must keep in mind selectivity effects: migration of children may be a result rather than a cause of distanced relationships. Moreover, even if advice support could be exchanged at a distance, children might refrain from it in order to avoid parental worries (Senyürekli and Detzner 2008). In any case, any firm conclusions on how 'harmful' transnational relationships are would be premature, as others (e.g.…”

This paper aims to expand knowledge on the effects of an international migration on parent-adult child relationships. We develop a typology, include non-migrants in the country of origin for comparison, and consider transnational families. Analyses are based on the Turkish 2000 Families Study, using information of adult non-co-resident children about their relationships with their parents. The research questions are: Do intergenerational solidarity types in migrant families reflect the patterns prevalent in the origin context or migration-specific adjustments? Do solidarity types of migrants differ, depending on whether they are transnational, of first-or second-generation children? Are differences due to composition effects? Latent class analysis shows four solidarity types. Their prevalence differs remarkably across the migrant groups. The proportion of the full-solidarity type is larger and that of the autonomous type is smaller in the relationships of first-and second-generation children with their migrant parents than among stayer dyads in Turkey. In transnational relationships, there is less full solidarity, and autonomous relationships are more likely. All migrant groups display less advice-oriented and more materialoriented support relationships. These results indicate stronger intergenerational cohesion in non-transnational migrant families and few changes across migrant generations. The observed differences are not due to composition effects.

“…The importance of parenting experiences related to migration is apparent later in the life course as well, with parents living transnationally to support their grown children and grandchildren (Treas, 2008). Moreover, adult children and their aging parents work in creative and unique ways to maintain a sense of family across borders and distances of thousands of miles (Senyurekli & Detzner, 2008).…”

“…Research focused on families and immigration most commonly highlights parenting across the lifespan (Senyurekli & Detzner, 2008;Treas, 2008), as well as gender and the role of couple relationships in immigration (Cerrutti & Massey, 2001;Glick, 2010;Perreira, Chapman, & Stein, 2006). For women who are mothers, the ways in which families influence their migration experiences are likely to vary based on a number of factors throughout the migration and adjustment processes.…”

Given the significant number of immigrants in the United States, especially immigrant families with young children, there is a need to better understand the experiences of immigrant women, and especially immigrant mothers. In particular, the factors impacting women's decisions to migrate, migration journeys, and post-migration adjustment should be examined. Framed in family life course theory and using ethnographic, in-depth interviews, we explored these three immigration phases for 40 first-generation Latina and African immigrant women who experienced motherhood in the U.S. Results of the study expand the literature focused on immigration experiences by considering turning points and transitions in women's migration processes, as they are shaped by both micro-(family) and macro-(socio-historical) level factors. The findings illustrate the spontaneous nature of some decisions to migrate, as well as how immigration journeys are influenced by the financial and physical supports of families and the status of their documentation. In addition, study findings point to motherhood as an important turning point for first-generation immigrant women in their adjustment to life in the U.S., and particularly in their planning with respect to staying long term. Implications for programs, policy, and future research are discussed.
