The research described was designed as a pilot study to evaluate transracially adopted primary-school and preschool children in the areas of racial attitudes, intellectual functioning, and social, cognitive, and physical development. The authors conclude that the transracially adopted children were doing well socially and developmentally and at the time of the research were making evenly balanced racial preference choices. It would appear that transracial adoption is a viable option for black children who cannot be placed permanently in black homes.
