Description: Anchored in a qualitative study of parents who have adopted children identified as being of a different race, this book draws from the real-life experiences of those parents to raise and respond to questions that arise before, during, and after transracial adoption. Its goal: to help adoptive parents (and child welfare professionals) understand the underlying racial challenges in a transracial adoption so they can help their children cope.--Jacket flap.
