We were open to a child of any ethnicity during our wait with DD. Bug looks CC, and the majority of placements by our agency are CC. However, we would NOT have been shown her file if we weren't open to a First Nations placement as Bug's First Mom is part-Metis.
We are waiting for a child of any ethnicity now too, and have been shown to many situations that are of mixed race. We are in a small town that is not overly diverse so we know there will be some challenges if we are blessed this way. However, we also know that there are many ways to help a child know and understand the culture of their ethnicity. It will be our job to make sure he/she feels like they belong in their home and community.
