“In this unusual, forthright book, Constance Pohl and Kathy Harris explore the issue of transracial adoption through the words and experiences of families who have lived it. Drawing from personal interviews with black, biracial, Asian, and Hispanic young people who were adopted into white or biracial families as children, and with their parents, brothers, and sisters; and from research studies of transracial adoptions, the authors create a revealing picture. The experiences of these families–their pain, difficulties, and mistakes, along with their successes, rewards, and joys–provide important answers to questions about the value of transracial adoption.”
