[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: So when they adopt, if they choose to and their kid faces bigots and they don’t know how to handle the issue or play it off due to some other reason, then what? Ignorance isn’t bliss when it comes to acknowledging racism exist and not staying silent and allowing it. [/quote] Except your nephew seems to have done fine, and perhaps he thinks his experiences will be beneficial in this area. It's also possible your nephew doesn't particularly want to identify as a black man since a black man abandoned him. My DH's dad abandoned the family, and my DH has some similar behaviors regarding his dad. You can't solve that problem for your nephew. I don't think it would necessarily be a bad idea to suggest he consider some therapy before having kids though, that kind of situation can mess you up, especially when your own kids arrive.[/quote]
