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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdoption 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 *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a meritorious contribution to the research of a subject that deserves more attention than it is presently receiving. * International Social Science Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 1  The History and Frequency of Transracial and Intercountry Adoptions\t Chapter 3 2  The Legal Perspective on Transracial and Intercountry Adoptions\t Chapter 4 3 \tThe Case against Transracial Adoption\t Chapter 5 4 \tResults of Empirical Studies on Transracial Adoptions\t Chapter 6 5 \tResults of Empirical Studies on Intercountry Adoptions\t Chapter 7 6 \tA Comparison of the Experiences of Adult Korean and Black Transracial Adoptees\t Chapter 8 7 \tThe Experiences of Stars of David Families: 1987 and 1997\t Chapter 9 8 \tConcluding Remarks and Policy Recommendations\t Chapter 10 Index Chapter 11 About the Authors","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038826660183,"sku":"9780847698332","price":36.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780847698332.jpg?v=1750941581","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/adoption-across-borders-9780847698332","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
