what about Black folks adopting white or mixed kids. first and foremost, i agree with nushooz that there is a catch 22 b/c all children need to be love and nurtured and that's most imp. but there is a cultural aspect that is relavant in this country. i have a friend that family adopted a white child and for the life of me i can't understand that. there are tons of Black babies that are in the system why as a Black family that has the means to adopt a child would ya adopt a white child. another friend whose family adopted two mixed children and all they do is uh-ah over the child b/c they are mixed, supposedly cute, and adorable b/c they have light skin and easily managable hair. but it comes down to there are a lot of kids in the system and they are all innocent and though race shouldn't matter for me it does. shooot me............ i plan on adopting and i am adopting beautiful Black kids.
