If you're considering a transracial adoption - perhaps you're thinking about a little girl from China or an African-American or biracial child here in the US - if you think race doesn't matter - think again. With humor, compassion, tons of research and practical advice, Inside Transracial Adoption is a "must-read" before you fill out an application at any agency anywhere. Here are a few more words from the Publisher: The co-directors of Pact: An Adoption Alliance offer their dynamic organization's cutting edge tools for fostering honesty and authenticity in matters of adoption and race. Acknowledging white identity issues for transracial adopters and demonstrating predictable milestones in the journey toward adulthood for transracially-adopted infants, preschoolers, school-age children, teens and young adults, Inside Transracial Adoption offers provocative information, valuable resources and practical tools to support families in fostering the development of racial identity of children of color and in the strengthening of family connections. An early reader commented "Singularly this book has given me more hope about parenting (my daughter) than all the social workers, therapists and teachers have put together. I wept tears of relief as I read this book. Not only did you name it, but you truly understand what living with a transracially adopted child is like and you give suggestions and solutions!!! Thank you!"
