Designed to inform adoptive and foster parents and the professionals who work with them
about the needs of their children of a different race or culture.

In this thought-provoking 20-minute video, viewers hear the compelling voices of experience.
Transracial adoptees and their families confront difficult issues of racism, identity and sense of place in candid discussions about their lives.
I hated America for the longest time. I've grown to love it now . . . but if they had asked me as a kid, I would have told them that I wanted to go back to my country.

When your kid totally rejects you, and goes through their anti-white stage, what are you going to tell that kid? Why did you adopt them?
What were you hoping to prove?

 

"My parents are Swedish-American, and I love my parents, but at the same time . . . we need to look to people who are black parents to give us the answers."
