Jessica Keebler, director of the Los Angeles County Bureau of
Adoptions in 1955, faces an almost insurmountable crisis. There's a
logjam of unadoptable babies and a severe lack of adequate foster
homes for these children. The crux of this issues rests with a
statute in California's adoption law stating ..". an interracial
child is a non-white and may be given only to a Negro family."Since
Negro family applications to adopt are as rare as rain in the
Mojave desert, the backlog of interracial babies threatens the
structure of Keebler's department and her mental health. When Paul
and Anne Barlin, a white family, say they will adopt a child "of
any color, any national origin," Keebler believes she may have
found a way to resolve this backlog of babies.To make this unusual
adoption a reality, she must have the courage to flaunt the law or
stand up to the state legislature and ask them to repeal the law.
Her actions will determine if one at-risk child will be placed in a
loving home. This one case has the potential to change the
landscape of adoption forever.
