...adoptions - those in which adoptive parents and adopted children are of different races - in the U.S. over the past two decades. In its report, "Finding Families for African American Children," the institute argues that race should be a factor in adoption placement, and that agencies should be allowed to screen non-black families who want to adopt black children - for their ability to teach self-esteem and defense against racism, and for their level of interaction with other black people.

And, it appeared, Kelly watched from a flat-screen monitor connected to his defense attorney's table. In the video's opening scene, a man in red pants, a baggy white t-shirt and a diamond stud in his left ear - similar to Kelly's - sits in a wood-paneled room that resembles a space that detectives photographed in the home Kelly once owned in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.
