Do CC people say that we can do a better job parenting AA children? I don't think I've ever said that. In these scenerios where we're trying to present "all things being equal", that doesnt' always apply to our real world. The fact is, with the given circumstances, if we hadn't adopted our daughter, she would have been sent to fostercare until a family would have been located. No offense to foster care, but do you deem that as a better situation then being placed with a loving family prepared to make a lifelong committment to a child? All things are not equal. We were selected by H's bmom, would she have selected an AA family instead? Perhaps, but with the agency we used, there were no AA families. None.
