I don't remember the legislation exactly but there were two bills passed by congress one in the early "90's and two in the late '90's. The first outlaws discrimination in adoption placements based on race, the other two just strengthen those laws. However adoptive parents still face these hurtles and none so far have sued agencies who are still practicing this defacto discrimination in the placement of AA children. It is still very much out there but the good news is that for every agency that will not place AA chidlren transracially there are two that will. it is our job as parents to be to be good consumers and search out the professionals who best suit out needs.
