"In Their Siblings' Voices" shares the stories of twenty white
non-adopted siblings who grew up with black or biracial brothers
and sisters in the late 1960s and 1970s. Belonging to the same
families profiled in Rita J. Simon and Rhonda M. Roorda's "In Their
Own Voices: Transracial Adoptees Tell Their Stories" and "In Their
Parents' Voices: Reflections on Raising Transracial Adoptees,"
these siblings offer their perspectives on the multiracial adoption
experience, which, for them, played out against the backdrop of two
tumultuous, politically charged decades. Simon and Roorda question
whether professionals and adoption agencies adequately trained
these children in the challenges presented by blended families, and
they ask if, after more than thirty years, race still matters. Few
books cover both the academic and the human dimensions of this
issue. "In Their Siblings' Voices" helps readers fully grasp the
dynamic of living in a multiracial household and its effect on
friends, school, and community.
