re: Is Anyone Against Couples Adopting Children Of A Different Race?

Mr. and Mrs. White don't know what 4C hair is.

So if you aren’t willing to make the effort it takes to make the child feel completely included, don’t do it.

I would say this for adopting any child that is a different race than yourself. You want to educate yourself on their background and be able to teach them about where they come from as they get older.


My friend adopted a baby girl(I think the child is partially hispanic). She is originally from Mexico (is a full U.S. citizen now and her parents both have dual citizenship)and her husband is a white pastor's son from Kansas. It was a very difficult process for them. So much that she won't adopt another child (their original plan was to eventually adopt another child).

From what she tells me....adoptions aren't as easily accepted in Mexican culture(which I never knew). All her Mexican relatives want her to NOT tell her daughter that she is adopted. Apparently it's something that is supposed to be very hush hush in families and not talked about. Looked at like dirty skeletons in the family closet. My friend disagrees with this and fully plans on telling her daughter about the adoption when she is old enough.

You make a valid point

Whites gets so much hate for being racist, but Latinos and blacks are equally (if not more) exclusionary when it comes to these type of family matters.

Okay?? I would expect them to... At some point,

FYI.. This couple I am referring to lived in Alabama, where the husband was from. They moved from Alabama to Louisiana, where she is from.

Personally, I don't think that situation reflects the whole state of Alabama. In fact, I would think that it is something that can happen in any state.

I know southern states are viewed as being "racist", but racism is everywhere.

And there are places in every state that are not as racist.

Oweo, great thread. Dont let the haters get to you.

There are way too many kids in the system that need loving parents. Race shouldn’t be a deal breaker, but I understand people wanting to adopt children who are similar to them. People like familiarity. I know one couple who went out of there way to adopt a black kid to virtue signal their retarded political beliefs. Another couple adopted a couple of black kids who were fostered since they were babies. Outside of skin color, they are no different than their biological kids. They’re good people.

You can just return them if you get tired of them, I hear

Why would anyone be against this?

All children need safe homes and loving, responsible, parents.
