Option 1

 * Article title
 * Interracial (transracial) adoption on same-sex adoption


 * Article Evaluation
 * Much of the language surrounding adjustment and identity development is outdated and somewhat racially charged. The page mistakenly conflates transracial adoptees’ identity with mixed-race identities and does not provide any context for blanket statements like “black children adopted by black parents report highest levels of depression”, whom aren’t even interracially adopted. The page also resorts to the assumption that white people are the only ones adopting and marginalized race adoptees are, therefore, interracially adopted. To change this, we want to edit the language and change discussions about mixed-race children to interracially adopted children, as well as smaller edits like capitalizing Black when it is used as an adjective to describe a person.
