1 Meaning of Transracial Adoption / Transcultural Adoption. 2  Adoption of a child of one race by a family of a different race. 3  In the converse, âsame-race adoptionâ, child and parent are the same race.
Another important law regarding interracial adoptions was the Adoption and Safe Families Act that was implemented in 1997. The purpose of this law is to reduce the time that a child spends in foster care by implementing a two-year limit and therefore hopefully moving a child closer to permanent adoption.
