[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re going to adopt outside of your race, start reading everything you can by transracial adoptees now. A lot of white parents aren’t prepared to raise children of color and can cause a lot of damage by living in all-white communities, not providing them with racial mirrors, etc.[/quote] +1 IF you are a white adoptive parent adopting a child of color, please read all you can. Pactadopt.org is a great organization and resource. Ditch the whole "Love is enough" adage. You need to do your work. Do you have black friends in your life for instance? Not people you know, but people who actually come to your house, you go to their house, your kids are friends? Do you know where to find a hair salon/barber shop that does black hair? Are you ready to address racist relatives? [/quote]
