For over thirty years, Rita J. Simon and Howard Altstein have been studying transracial and intercountry adoptions. The families they have studied include white parents; African American, Hispanic, and Korean children; and Jewish Stars of David families, among others. This book summarizes their findings and compares them with other studies. It is an invaluable source of data on the number and frequency of transracial and intercountry adoptions and on the attitudes toward them. Moreover, it strongly advocates and demonstrates the positive effects of transracial and intercountry adoptions, countering public policy initiatives that emphasize ''same race'' adoption practices.

Industry Reviews

Adoption across Borders may certainly be of use for scholars and practitioners looking for basic reference points on transracial adoption and intercountry adoption in the United States, and more specifically for evidence supporting transracial adoption.--Contemporary Sociology
