Because issues affecting children arouse intense interest and emotion, it is not surprising that transracial adoption; Bringing racially or ethnically diverse parents and children together in an adoptive family is a topic fraught with controversy. Transracial adoption not only raises the question of how much power the state should have to influence individual choices regarding family life, but also calls into question the level of state assistance provided to struggling families before removing parents from their parents.
