We try to integrate AA history and culture to her learning as much as possible. We realize life will be different for her than if she was raised with a black family, but she was put up for adoption willingly by her birthparents, who picked us to raise and love their daughter. I have a hard time with today's sometimes VERY closed mindedness on this subject. If you are willing to switch to the positives of transracial adoption, I will be more than happy to help you in any way I can. There is too much negativity in this world without trying to make such a wonderful thing in our lives (and SO many others too) seem like a bad thing.
So-if you'd like the positive swing on this, please respond here, and I will be happy to do what I can.
Thank you, good luck to you!
