Adoption vs. Foster Parenting When I had cable TV‚ I used to watch a show on the Learning Channel‚ called "An Adoption Story".

I always

The increase of transracial adoption through the foster

A Review of the Literature Transracial adoption occurs when two parents of one race or ethnicity adopt a child of another (Hoffman‚ Pena‚ 2013). Through the years there has been significant controversy surrounding transracial adoptions as it has been said that “(white families) no matter how well intentioned‚ may be ill equipped to help black children survive in a racist society and develop a healthy sense of themselves and racial identity” (Butler-Sweet‚ 2011).

Stray animals in general are treated unethically; however‚ they deserve a loving and nurturing home. Instead of shelter animals being adopted‚ people often opt for more “attractive” pets like pure-breeds. This idea is outlandish because
