Transracial Adoption and the Multiethnic Placement Act
|
|
Children of color have a longer length of time in out-of home care and a longer length of time from termination of parental rights to adoption. The Multiethnic Placement Act and Interethnic Placement Act, passed in 1994 and 1996 respectively, were passed in order to prevent children from languishing in out-of-home care while foster or adoptive parents of the same race were found. This has given rise to ongoing analysis of the prevalence and affects of transracial placements and adoption. |
