Intentional cross-race parenting
Although no one can fully prepare for parenthood—biological or adoptive—cross-race parenting comes with unique challenges. Unfortunately, many white parents enter transracial adoption ill-equipped to deal with the racial realities their children will face.
As a white adoptive parent, the best way to support your child is by educating yourself first. And we’re here to help build that bridge for you.
That’s why we created our guide, Transracial Adoption: Foundational Principles for Healthy Cross-Race Parenting—to offer a clear and simplified path for white parents who are beginning their transracial adoptive journey or parents who are already transracial adoptive parents.

Increase your racial literacy and explore the ethics of adoption
