A fragmented reality: inter racial adoption and the challenges of the formation of a multiracial family
Abstract
Adoption as a social practice has been permeated by beliefs, values and behavioral patterns, among which racial prejudice occupies central stage, as a factor hindering the very selection process. The choice of this topic for the present study derives from the need to discuss inter-racial adoption because, although the issue of racial discrimination has been widely discussed both at national and international levels, the specific problematic of adoption in this context is still new and underexplored by professionals in the Human Sciences, for example, Social Assistants. In addition, very few authors have busied themselves with the issue. Hence the emergence and exploration of the topic in this article.Downloads
