This article places the controversy over transracial adoption (TRA) in its historical context and analyzes recent developments in the law governing TRA policy. Because unfounded "authority" from the field of mental health infuses current debate, the authors alert psychiatrists to two powerful forces that improperly influence today's legal arena: community preference for same-race families and biased professional norms of mental health professionals.
本文将跨种族收养争议置于其历史背景中，并分析了跨种族收养政策相关法律的最新发展。由于心理健康领域毫无根据的“权威观点”充斥在当前的辩论中，作者提醒精神科医生注意两种不当影响当今法律领域的强大力量：社区对同种族家庭的偏好以及心理健康专业人员有偏见的专业规范。
