Yes, that is what I understand, but the energy of the radiation results in a loss of mass from the Black Hole. I believe that is why they are supposed to evaporate.
An interesting discussion was conducted earlier where several of us were blundering our way through general relativity in association with black holes. One issue that arose was that a photon that is released just outside of the black hole boundary would essentially be non existent once it climbed the gravitational well of the hole into open space. It would take an infinite amount of photon energy at the exact boundary to reach the outside world with any significant energy. Do you know how that can be reconciled with the theory of vaporization of holes? It appears like a paradox to me.

There is one place where this definitely occurs; at the event horizon of a black hole. It is the nature of Hawking Radiation. In theory.
