Over the past few years NPR has offered up a fabulous series on adoption, not only stories and journals about adoptions covering domestic but also transracial, international, birth mother, and adoptee.
Their latest story is that of an orphan in the 1950’s.
In 1994 they presented The Many Faces of Adoption with four families out of the 1.6 million American families with adoptive children.

Ah yes, hot topic still…and probably always will be. In the United States 140,000 children are adopted through agencies and 20,000 are adopted by parents of a different race. However, black children are less likely to be adopted into a family of another race and the laws are not helping.
When the Donaldson Adoption Institutes’s report on transracial adoption came out recently it state that non-black families should not be given first choice to adopt…that same race families should.

From domestic to international adoptions, from first moms to adoptees, from same sex parents to transracial families…the best of the best adoption blogs out there on the internet.
