Rita Simon and her collaborators have been the leading empirical investigators of transracial adoption over the past quarter century. The Case for Transracial Adoption is a summary and continuation of that excellent work. All students of transracial adoption owe Simon and her colleagues a tremendous debt of gratitude.

...a smashing argument in favor of adoption across races.

Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School, The American Experiment
The empirical research is a wonderful addition to help us move beyond the impasse it seems we have reached...I recommend this book as an addition to classroom texts addressing race and/or the family.

Heather M. Dalmage, SSSP REVIEW, The American Experiment
For anyone interested in the hot topic of transracial adoption, this slender book is must reading. Coming to grips with the facts in this small volume can be a sobering experience.
