I ditto TracyK and Louise, I think that in the past that families were told to raise children of color as white - but most families I know really embrace their adopted child's culture and if we make mistakes along the way, we're trying our hardest, like all parents. My husband was transracially adopted and we've talked about what his life experience is, it doesn't mean it's a bad life experience to be raised out of your race, it's just a different life experience. If your child is loved and valued for who s/he is - then you're on the right track.
