In contrast to previous work on race and adoption markets that focus on the experiences of adoptive parents, Raleigh's project focuses on adoption workers--social workers, attorneys, and counselors. Taking a market approach that treats adoptive parents as consumers and children as commodities, Raleigh brings together interviews with adoption practitioners, participant observation at adoption information sessions, and adoption statistics in order to demonstrate how the downturn in supply of "adoptable honorary white children" (which she defines as Asian and hispanic children) led to the increased popularity of the transracial adoption of foreign-born and biracial black children. 606 $aFAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Adoption & Fostering$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Work$2bisacsh 606 $aFamilies 606 $aSocial service 606 $aInterracial adoption 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Adoption & Fostering. 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Work. 615 0$aFamilies. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aInterracial adoption. 676 $a362.734 686 $aSOC025000$aSOC008000$aFAM004000$2bisacsh 700 $aRaleigh$b Elizabeth Yoon Hwa$f1977-$0915608 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255443503321 996 $aSelling Transracial Adoption$92052558 997 $aUNINA
