Love is All You Need?
In the 1960s, thousands of white families adopted or fostered black children from local authority care. For many it was their way of showing their personal commitment to a multiracial society. In the 1980s, black activists say 'transracial' adoption should stop. The final indignity for the black community is to lose their children to white homes and white values. This week Heart of the Matter asks whether our assumptions about what constitutes a multiracial society can fit with the reality of race relations in Britain today.
