[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- first of all, it's not a transracial adoption. Thanks for assuming. Second, I'm reeling from just finding out about this issue with my son's teacher. Third, I researched international adoption for years. My adoption itself took almost 2 years. My DS has overcome incredible odds and is really happy -- he just has some slow learning. I'm absolutely 10000% committed to getting him into a more diverse, supportive school environment. [b]But I can't change the racial demographics of the county, and I can't move. [/b] [/quote] Should have taken that into account when you adopted the child. Being the only black kid around, yea, that is causing psychological damage to that child. Not seeing other kids, adult role models that look like him, yes, that is psychological damage. Yes, you may love your child, but you cannot love away his race and everyone needs to see someone that looks like him/her in their environment.[/quote]
