Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Thousands of American children of all races and ethnicities are in temporary foster care, waiting for families to permanently adopt them. Federal laws limit the consideration of race in the adoption processes for these children. But a new report suggests that a completely colorblind approach might not be the best one. Join Kojo as we discuss the sensitive web of issues related to transracial adoption.
Guests
- Adam Pertman Executive Director, The Evan B. Donaldson Institute
- Thomas Atwood President and CEO, The National Council for Adoption
