White parents adopting black children

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this? All I get from the internet is a bunch of liberal news site articles and unsubstantiated data like this:

There doesn't seem to be any data or stats to support a bias one way or another. My feelings on the issue are basically conservative: heterosexual nuclear families who emphasize character and discipline and promote education will produce solid individuals at a much higher percentage than the other way around . . . no matter the race of the child. Obviously, Kaepernick is not the best example. But what do I know?

One study found that interracial adoptees fare sometimes better, sometimes worse, but overall about the same as their same-race adopted counterparts across the 12 adjustment measures investigated. These measures investigated indices of academic, familial, psychological, and health outcomes for 4 groups of interracial and same-race adopted adolescents. Specifically, interracial adoptees had significantly higher grades and significantly higher academic expectations but marginally more distant father relationships and higher levels of psychosomatic symptoms than their same-race adopted counterparts. Also, Asian adolescents adopted by white parents had both the highest grades and the highest levels of psychosomatic symptoms, whereas black adolescents adopted by black parents reported the highest levels of depression. On the other hand, black adoptees reported higher levels of self-worth than non-black adoptees.

I've never actually seen black parents formally adopting a child of any race.

I was talking to a feminist at work and said I thought about adopting an African and she said you mamma be a white savior? It doesn't work. I said if I did I'd name him Jesus. She went crazy

I know one white couple that adopted a black brother/sister pair and know they had to fight like hell to get them. They fostered both of them for awhile before being able to adopt. A lot of roadblocks in the system try to prevent it.
I for one thing white families adopting and raising young unwanted black children would be the best thing that could ever happen for race relations in our country.

The only first-hand experience to this I've seen is my cousin-in-law's family. Two white kids, three black. My cousin-in-law is a fire-fighter, his brother is career military. All three of the black kids are in and out of prison. Go figure.

don't do it they will still group up to hate America because of how oppressed they were even though they had white parents and make millions of dollars.

I believe you . . . sorry if I'm out of the loop.

I've a good friend, a black guy, that used to be married to a white chick, he had one kid from first marriage(black,) and they had one together, those kids were picked on mercilessly and even beaten up a few times by black kids, including family members, for acting "too white"

Adoption in general is something that NEEDS to gain a lot more traction in this nation. Adoption trumps abortion in every respect, and it'd be a great step for race relations, like you said.
I feel quite strongly about that. My wife and I plan to adopt in the future as well. DGAF about the ethnicity of the kid we adopt, either.

My brother's friend and his wife tried to adopt a black child. He said the red tape and road blocks were ridiculous. They finally gave up and adopted a girl from China.

frick that I want to adopt me a dback or a linebacker. And we know the odds of getting a Seahorn or Urlacher is low. Give me the dark colored kid!

The guy who owns Red's gym in Lafayette is a black guy and his wife is black and they have a white adopted son. They are perhaps some of the most down-to-earth well-adjusted people Ive ever met. The kid is going to be just fine
