Multiethnic Placement Act of 1993

Summary

Permits consideration of the child's race, color, or national origin when such factors are: (1) considered in conjunction with other factors; and (2) relevant to the child's best interest. Withholds adoption assistance funds from such an agency or entity in cases of noncompliance. Grants any individual aggrieved by a noncomplying agency or entity the right to bring an action in the appropriate U.S. District Court.
