To respond to what someone siad, it is actually harder, in most states, for a white family to adopt any child but a white child, for the reasons mentioned in earlier posts. I would agree that this situation is a catch 22, but again, the question itself is not race, or family values or any of that. The hight question being asked is about love, and multiculturalism. In order to live in America one either embraces or hates multiculturalism. (let's not talk about how shitty and unfair that is yet). So if you are down wqith mulitculturalism, then we must all realize that definitions of cxulture in america must begin to shift. Thgis has two parts. The good: at some point we CAN all be equal. The bad: so far, we're not doing so well on that shit. White means mainstream, and like we've heard so many times on this board, there is no white, there is only power.... So, what do you do? I say that love is the issue here. If parents can love their children, and children can love their parents, and we can be upfront about the history of EVERYONE in America, then we are well on our way to something totally different than America today. I would like to say a lot more, but fear rambling, so let me know if any of this makes sense. For the record, I never knew if it could work until about five years ago my aunt and uncle adopted two of the most wonderful children ever. The love int hat family, and just watching them together has convinced that love is, by far, the most powerful thing i this world
