Buy In Their Voices: Black Americans on Transracial Adoption on Amazon.com >

The previous installments in Roorda’s excellent “In Their Voices” series, on which she collaborated with the late Rita J. Simon, gave voice to transracial adoptees, adoptive parents, and the non-adoptive siblings of transracial adoptees. In her latest work, Roorda shares the insights of black and biracial adults with ties to adoption. A deft interviewer, Roorda elicits personal commentary on the history of transracial adoption as well as advice for parents and those in the adoption profession.
