Transracial Adoption remains a controversial topic in social science. Although most in the African American community opposed transracial adoption, coining it a genocide, the number of white families adopting black children reached its apex. Most African American children were victims of displaced communities, ridden with crime (Wagner 1998). In 1994, congress passed the Multicultural Placement Act; this act repudiates discrimination in the adoption process, including discrimination based on race and cultural competence (Howe 468). Despite this act, in the years following, African American children represented half of the children in foster care, questioning the effectiveness of MEPA (Bradley and Hawkins-Leon 434).
