In this collection of interviews conducted with black and biracial young adults who were adopted by white parents, the authors present the personal stories of two dozen individuals who hail from a wide range of religious, economic, political, and professional backgrounds. How does the experience affect their racial and social identities, their choice of friends and marital partners, and their lifestyles? In addition to interviews, the book includes overviews of both the history and current legal status of transracial adoption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Their Own Voices: Transracial Adoptees Tell Their Stories Columbia University Press April 2000 480 pages Paper ISBN: 978-0-231-11829-3 Rita J.
