Info and training from transracial adoption expert Angela Tucker

As one of America’s most recognizable voices in transracial adoption, Angela Tucker goes beyond the fairy-tale narrative of adoption through films and offers workshops, books, and a podcast for those who want to deepen their understanding.

Adoptees of color who are parented by white people have different needs than their non-adoptive counterparts and are well-served by thoughtful attention to the intersectionality of race, culture and identity by all in their life – not just their parents. All families can develop a deeper understanding of how transracial adoptees grow through the development stages of racial awareness to racial identity, and practical skills for how to handle insensitive or racist remarks.

Angela Tucker is a transracial adoptee, an unabashed truth-teller and a gifted speaker on complex sociological issues.

    This is a very exciting time for Allies for Every Child and Extraordinary Families.

    After lots of planning and preparation, we are proud to announce that we are joining forces to bring the talents and passion of each organization under one banner.

    Both Allies and Extraordinary Families put the best interests of children first. This affiliation is a natural fit thanks to the shared values of each organization. Our priority is providing safe and loving homes for children, keeping siblings together, and working to reunify families or provide forever homes through adoption.

    Nothing is changing in terms of the same great care that you’ve come to expect from both organizations. We’re just uniting to further our mission to do right by the children. We hope you’ll join us as we step forward together to bring about brighter futures for all the children and families who are counting on us.
