In 1983, the Minnesota Legislature became the first
legislative body in the country to adopt specific statutory language to clarify
adoption and foster care policy on the placement of minority children. Commonly
referred to as the Minority Child Heritage Protection Act or the Minority Child
Heritage Preservation Act, the law established an order of preference for
placement of minority children. Relatives were given priority, followed by
adults who shared the same racial or ethnic heritage as the child.
