Yup, your understanding of my question is right.
By the way, the research I'd mentioned above was in an article called, "Service needs of transracial adoptive families: The case for providing more post adoption services", it was presented by Thea Ormerod, Counsellor, Post Adoption Resource Centre, at the 8th Australian Adoption Conference, Adelaide, April 2004. The article put together a good case about the needs of transracially adoptive families. I first saw the article on the following web site
Benevolent Society - Homepage but for some reason the article is no longer posted.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Hopefully more agencies will offer support and/or more info in future. In the meantime, I guess many of us are sort of pioneers. Thank goodness for the internet.
