Should social workers be hesitant at placing black children in white families or areas? Is racist abuse only a cultural problem for adoptive families? If so - what about online race issues? On todays show I’m going to play an extract from the One Adoption West Yorkshire Winter Conference on race and adoption that I was invited to speak at to discuss these and other issues.

I also have a number of seminars around this theme including, ‘Beyond Black Lives Matter and transracial adoption’, do please get in contact if you are interested in booking me to speak at your event.
