[quote=Anonymous]Op here- Thanks for the frank replies. I especially appreciate the advice to speak with other adoptive parents in Richmond. There are a variety of reasons why we are choosing a southern city (family, etc). Just know it's not something we are flexing on. It is very important to us to expose any adopted child of a different race to his/her background. I'm not comfortable "white washing" the situation and if we had an AA child would want to be involved in an AA church, have AA role models and friends etc. I don't think it would be easy in a city like Richmond. Question: do you think it would be just as challenging with a Latina child in the south? I just assumed it would be less of an issue, but am honestly ignorant about that scenario. Thx! Appreciate responses, especially from those who have lived in southern cities! [/quote]
