Section 2: Transracial Adoption

The Challenges and Joys

The essay from Jess that starts on the next page is not to be missed - not only for anyone who considers building a transracial family, but anyone who comes into contact with a family that doesn't all "look alike," whether at church, in the grocery store, in the park, or at school.

This section features many personal stories from Choice Moms, the viewpoints of an adult adoptee from Korea, as well as an African-American woman who uses her experience to advocate and represent adoptees today.

Children's Home Society and Family Services also provided us with an excellent worksheet they use to help prospective parents identify their capabilities in building a transracial family.

Please support Children's Home Society & Family Services. CHSFS helps Plan a positive course of action for the life of a child. Strengthen family bonds through counseling and education. Unite children with loving families, and each adoptee with a sense of his or her culture and history. And enables you to Give to children and their families through volunteering and donation.
