I read the synopsis of the actual study. As usual, the press got it all wrong, and/or used sensational quotes to take the study out of context.
Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute
We talked about this on the Yahoo! group African American Domestic Adoption.
First, the study was only done on families who adopted via foster care. On our group, we found that some families who had done foster-adopt had received training, as part of the normal training, on parenting children of other races. However, many said that they had not.
Most of the people who responded that they used private agencies said that their agencies recommended or required training, reading, and/or seminars.
