Although the practice of transracial adoption, that is, the adoption of a non-White child by White parents, has existed for over fifty years (Rothman 2005; Herman 2008), over the past generation there has been a large overall increase in the transracial adoption of children born both in the United States and abroad (Child Welfare Information Gateway 2004, Selman 2009).  Data from Census 2000 estimated that about one in six adopted children is of a different race than their parent, making adoption a more visible family form (Kreider 2003).
