[quote=Anonymous]We live in a neighborhood that had both large AA and observant Jewish populations. There are several families that have adopted children of a different race, including at least one observant Jewish family with a black child. The child seems well-adjusted, although we don't know the family well. It is also a very liberal neighborhood, where families come in all stripes (LGBT, interracial, trans-racial, etc.), so it's not a big deal here. FWIW, my spouse is black (but not AA) and was adopted by a white family in the 80s, and is pretty well-adjusted. Not many AAs in my in-laws' social circles, but they did make an effort with the few black friends/colleagues they had to include some diversity in their kids' environment (they also had one bio kid). With effort, it can be done, IMO. [/quote]
