- Title
Race Matters in Adoption.
- Authors
Howe, Ruth-Arlene W.
- Abstract
The article presents author's comments on the impact of the elimination of same-race placements and promotion of transracial adoption on the welfare of African-American foster-care children. She doubts that same-race placement preferences were the barrier that kept African-American youngsters waiting in foster care longer than their Caucasian peers. She says that it is irresponsible and unethical to deny the reality that continuing racial hostilities and inequalities abound in the society.
