[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember  watching  a program (60 minutes? )? where a couple from Germany adopted 2 healthy black children as babies from the US.  Less stigma and prejudice in Germany than in the  US.

For some reason, white people in the US do not want healthy adoptable black babies.  Some even call themselves liberals. [/quote

We are a a white couple who adopted a black infant, your post is way out of line. We belong to a transracial support group too that means once a month ( usually) for the parents to chat and the kids to play together with supervision.

Op we adopted through adoptions together and had a very good experience, total wait time was less than a year once we finished all the paperwork which took about 5 months.

I will say, while I know nothing about your Visa I am not sure its fair to take an adopted child away from their bio family. Our DD is 7 and has a birth Mom here in MD and 2 bio half siblings. We have never met them but know that one day that may happen. If at any point DD wants to meet her birth Mom that can happen easily because we live in the same state.
I am from another country and have thought about moving there, but i would feel awful taking DD that far away from them. 
I know people adopt from other countries and I am not knocking that at all. If you do adopt you should tell the agency you want a child from a family that has a closed adoption. Ours is open, although like I said there has been no contact so far.[/quote]
