They will place transracially in our county, please don't misunderstand. I met a foster mom who has adopted 4 caucasion children and she is African American. I've met some caucasion foster moms with AA placements in our county. My MAPPS worker just says she really tries to place within the same race. I can understand that and agree with it. I mean the best place for an AA child is with AA parents, that is how I feel. Second choice would be a good home that would be considerate of the child's race. That is what she was expressing to me. So please don't misunderstand what I wrote. The only reason I included that bit (and I feel like I may have opened a can of worms) is that I really feel it was amazing that we talked about this very situation only this morning and by this afternoon she had called me with an AA infant placement. I seriously thought she was kidding when she told me about the baby. I honestly didn't beleive her at first. It seemed too coincidental.

I'm really excited for this placement but like I said I don't think it will be a long term.
