Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-- The introduction to this book, which focuses on the adoption of a child of one race by parents of another race, explains some of the controversies surrounding such arrangements, e.g., whether Caucasian parents can successfully raise an African-American child, and should such children, for want of an African-American home, be allowed to languish indefinitely in the welfare and adoption system. Following the thrust of the controversy, Pohl and Harris center on black/white issues. No U. S. agencies or spokespersons for Asians, for example, are saying these children should not be adopted by white parents. The authors estimate that 36,000 children were awaiting permanent homes in 1990, and gently probe a system they believe is not working. The strength of this volume is its profiles of adoptees and families, which illustrate the bureaucratic nature of the problems. A modest reading list and glossary are included; research and sources are cited. This work will have older teens and adults thinking about race, and about family. --Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, VA
