Multiethnic Placement Act moves toward Senate approval
Congress nears final passage of the Multiethnic Placement Act to curb racial discrimination in adoption. The measure would bar child agencies from denying prospective parents based on race, color, or national origin, risking court action and federal funding loss for violators. Senator Howard Metzenbaum defends the bill as essential to letting loving homes adopt children. Interracial adoptions peaked in the 1960s and fell after a 1972 ban by the National Association of Black Social Workers, which now endorses racial sensitivity and exhaustive efforts to place Black children.
