[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 thoughts as an experienced transracial adoptive parents.

1) It took my son about 6 months before he settled in to his final coloring.

2) One of my greatest regrets as an adoptive parent is that I didn't insist on paternity tests on every possible father.  I regret that I can't answer my son's questions.  I also regret that I can't honestly tell him that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that his father would have consented to his adoption.  I know that insisting on paternity tests during the time when he was in my arms, but not mine by law, would have ben scary because I would have worried about the possibility that someone would have changed their mind and sued for parental rights.  However, there is no doubt in my mind that it would have been the right thing to do.  [/quote]

It's really good to read an adopter who is aware of these ethics issues and who at least had a conscience about the fact that child's father and paternal family may have wanted to raise their child.  [/quote]
