[quote=Anonymous]This is another helpful read. https://www.nacac.org/resource/the-personal-is-political-racial-identity-and-racial-justice-in-transracial-adoption/ I remember taking a sociology course by a highly regarded African American professor and he said he always rolls his eyes at all white people saying "I'm colorblind" and calling anyone who brings up a person's race, culture, etc as racist. Race matters. Looking different from those around you does affect a person. When this child sits in temple she is surrounded by a sea of white people unless in a city like NYC where you see more interracial adoptions. Some kids maybe OK with this and some aren't. Some may be OK one year and not OK the next. If the child does not want to put in the extra hours being immersed in white land doing this then at the very least take the time to step back and evaluate. [/quote]
