“…Pelczarski and Kemp, 2006; Rhee et al., 2011), and inadequate supervision is a cultural issue when collectivist children are left unsupervised by primary carers at ages younger than their counterparts because they are seen as sufficiently responsible to care for themselves. However, structural issues such as differences in the role of the state in child welfare and family functioning between Australia and the country of origin (Babacan, 2006), and systemic issues such as socio-economic disadvantage among minority groups (Cahn, 2002; Chand, 2005; Fontes, 2005; Webb et al., 2002; Westby, 2007), can also bring ethnic minority families into the CP system, and these are not cultural issues. Thus, it is important caseworkers do not overlook the role of non-cultural factors, else there may be a risk of pathologizing the collectivist culture as if this were inherently harmful to the child and the primary reason for their family’s dysfunction.…”

“…There is well established evidence for class-based theories of over-representation of NESB children in the CPS (e.g. Chand, 2005;Fontes, 2005;Cahn, 2002) Finally, (over-)representation in the CPS may occur because of culturally biased institutional processes and organisational practices, predicated on the use of one cultural norm for assessing abuse and neglect. In the words of Connolly et al (2006, p. 47), "tools and instruments are used in child protection organisations in the belief that they are culturally neutral, universal, and appropriate to all.…”

“…Adoption has points of controversy that are not surprising, given the interplay between race, social issues, cultural values, and adoption practice. Recent writings have focused on several controversial themes: (a) the role of class, race, and religion in adoption (Cahn, 2002;Carp, 2002), (b) the preference for blood ties and the stigma of adoptive ties in dominant American culture (Bartholet, 1999;Leon, 2002;Wegar, 2000), and (c) the increasing "marketplace" approach to adoption that emphasizes consumerism and economics, especially in the context of international adoption (Carp, 2002;Henderson, 2002;Lee, 2003 [this issue]; Mansnerus, 1998). While the formal practice of adoption is tied to child welfare reform efforts in the 1800s (Carp, 2002;Cole & Donely, 1990), some writers have argued that efforts to help children reflected values and biases of those implementing reform and affected which children were identified to be in need (e.g., more often poor, immigrant, Catholic, or Jewish) (Gordon, 1988) and what placements were deemed to be good and wholesome (e.g., Protestant farm families) (Carp, 2002).…”

“…Concerns related to race and culture are reflected in contemporary child welfare literature as well. Writers have argued that the disproportionate numbers of African American children in foster care are the result of subjective (and in many cases biased) assessments of abuse or neglect and that their subsequent movement into adoptive placements has resulted in a systematic dismantling of African American families (Bradley & Hawkins-Leon, 2002;Cahn, 2002;Roberts, 2001).…”
