Rhonda Roorda, adopted by a white family, is a highly-regarded national speaker on transracial adoption. Together with Rita Simon, she coauthored a landmark trilogy of books on transracial adoption (In Their Own Voices, In Their Parents' Voices, and In Their Siblings' Voices.) Ms. Roorda's groundbreaking new book builds on that trilogy and highlights the views of non-adopted black Americans.
