Abstract
The recent statement by the Committee on Adoption and Dependent Care1 is to be lauded for most of its content. The conference mentioned held in St. Louis, April 1972, the Third North American Conference on Adoptable Children, was not named as a conference on interracial adoption as were its predecessors because parents' groups supporting these conventions wished to promote the adoption of all available children regardless of reason for nonadoption. The final statement phrase that ". . . the child will surely be sacrificed to the popular movement of his day" falsely implies that the practice of interracial adoption is a widespread, new phenomenon that will be harmful to the involved children.
