Transracial Adoption Story aired: Wednesday, June 18, 2008
A new report on transracial adoption claims that a 1994 law mandating social workers take a colorblind approach when placing children with adoptive parents, may not be helping minority children as intended. We speak with Adam Pertman, the executive director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, a research and advocacy organization that published the report. We also hear from Shannon Gibney, an African American woman who was adopted by white parents.
