Summary The purpose of this book is to go beyond the arguments and ask the question : How do we as professionals help children and families make transracial adoptions and foster placements work? The author describes specific ways that practitioners can work with transracial families to ensure that children develop positive racial and cultural identities, as well as how professionals can better serve these families. He also addresses such professional concerns as cultural competence and recruitment of minority adoptive and foster parents. Case studies and "myths" of transracial adoption provide valuable background information for child welfare professionals.
