Training for Transracial Adoptive Parents by Public and Private Adoption Agencies.
Vonk, M. Elizabeth; Angaran, Ruth
Adoption Quarterly, v6 n3 p53-62 2003
This study sought to determine aspects of training provided to transracial adoptive parents by public and private U.S. adoption agencies. Responses to a survey of a random sample of public and private agencies indicated that about half of the agencies that facilitate transracial adoption provide relevant training. Findings pose implications for social work practice and research. (Author)
