Belonging to the same families profiled in Rita J. Simon and Rhonda M. Roorda&#8217;s <em>In Their Own Voices: Transracial Adoptees Tell Their Stories<\/em> and <em>In Their Parents&#8217; Voices: Reflections on Raising Transracial Adoptees<\/em>, these siblings offer their perspectives on the multiracial adoption experience, which, for them, played out against the backdrop of two tumultuous, politically charged decades. Simon and Roorda question whether professionals and adoption agencies adequately trained these children in the challenges presented by blended families, and they ask if, after more than thirty years, race still matters. Few books cover both the academic and the human dimensions of this issue. <em>In Their Siblings&#8217; Voices<\/em> helps readers fully grasp the dynamic of living in a multiracial household and its effect on friends, school, and community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Their Siblings\u2019 Voices: White Non-Adopted Siblings Talk About Their Experiences Being Raised with Black and Biracial Brothers and Sisters Columbia University Press May 2009 248 pages 5 tables Cloth ISBN: 978-0-231-14850-4 Paper ISBN: 978-0-231-14851-1 Rita J.
