After generations of always placing children with adoptive parents of the same race, agencies are now exercising policies built on the assumption that race no longer matters. However, after extensive study of chat rooms, adoption agency websites and other sources, Quiroz (policy studies and sociology, U. of Illinois at Chicago) has found the notion of color-blind adoption is false, and that certain children continue to be marginalized and treated as cheap commodities in the adoption marketing system. She explores the transracial adoption practices of white gay couples, the nonexplicit minority programs, the language of race on private agency websites, "race talk" in adoption forums online, and the enduring legacy of race as a primary identity from the beginnings of the eugenics movement to 2000.
