Two Native American children were adopted by a non-Indian family. Following a legal challenge under the provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act, the case became before both the United States Supreme Court and an Indian Tribal Court. In this paper we analyze the procedure and outcome of this transcultural adoption case from the point of view of the children involved and compare it with the intracultural "Baby Richard" case. Anna Freud believed that continuity of care is vital for each child's healthy growth and development. Transcultural adoptions highlight questions that characterize contested placements, whether or not they cross cultural boundaries and whether or not they place children across lines of race, color, religion, or national origin.
两名美国原住民儿童被一个非印第安家庭收养。根据《印第安儿童福利法》的规定进行法律质疑后，该案件提交到了美国最高法院和一个印第安部落法院。在本文中，我们从涉案儿童的角度分析了这起跨文化收养案件的程序和结果，并将其与文化内的“理查德宝宝”案进行了比较。安娜·弗洛伊德认为，持续的照料对每个孩子的健康成长和发展至关重要。跨文化收养突出了有争议安置所具有的问题，无论它们是否跨越文化界限，以及是否使儿童跨越种族、肤色、宗教或国籍界限。
