Candice,
Hi , I know you are looking for responses from African American women and I am caucasion yet I just found this thread interesting and felt a need to reply. I come from diverse family and have several different races in my family. 7 biracial nieces, romanian niece and nephew (adopted), 2 mexican nieces and 2 puerta rican nieces. Anyhow hubby and I are adopting to add onto our own family and race does not matter. Just wanted to let you know that if for some reason I was a mother who just couldnt take care of my baby, the race of the parents would not matter. I would much rather an african american family raise my baby than white if that family loved and wanted my baby more. I think it is wonderful that you are considering adopting outside your race and it will also open more doors of oportunity to you because the less specifics you have the quicker you will find your child. We were told that we should have our children (we are adopting a sibling group) before others because we are open with race. Good luck to you and your family!!
