What Is a Transracial Adoption?
If you are considering adoption and looking into adopting a child while doing some of your own research, you might come across transracial adoption. Transracial adoption, also known as Interracial and Multiracial adoption, is an adoption where an adoptive family adopts a child of different racial ethnicity. It is also when a birth mother places their child with an adoptive family of a different race or ethnicity. If you are a birth mother looking to place your child up for adoption, not to worry, Adoption Choices of Kansas is here to help.

What we mean by this is that you will be able to create your adoption plan to how you see fit and what you think is the best for both you and your child.
When creating your adoption plan, you will get to have the final say on everything and what your adoption plan looks like. For instance, you will get to decide on what type of adoption you want to have. You will be able to pick from open adoption, semi-open adoption, and closed adoption now. Just because you start with one kind of adoption does not mean it is final. This is your adoption plan, so if you wish to change what kind of adoption you have, all you have to do is let your adoption specialist know, and they will provide you with what you need to make the change. Another aspect that you will get to decide on is how much and what kind of communication you have with the adoptive family and your child. Now, this does relate to what kind of adoption you have. For example, say you have a semi-open adoption. Then in terms of communication with the adoptive family, you will be able to have monthly check-ins or weekly check-ins possibly. Depending on what you decide, you can have these check-ins over email, the phone, and person.
Another step you get to decide on when creating your adoption plan is you get to pick what adoptive family you want to place your child with. For this part of the adoption process, your adoption caseworker will provide you with profiles and information on adoptive families we have on our waiting list. You will be able to look through their profiles and decide what family you think would be the best fit for your child. If you do not find a family from the profiles you provided, you simply have to ask your adoption specialist to see more profiles they will provide for you.
