Support Group
DH & I adopted our AA/CC newborn in January. So far, we've only received a few comments, and most of those are just variations on "Why is he black and you're not?" I have a really funny story about a cashier who got incredibly embarassed when she made a silly comment. Anyway, that all said, I've found that the Yahoo! Group Transracial Adoption and Placement has been a great resource to us, since even before we adopted.
Good luck & God Bless!

Child #1: Is that your mother?
Child #2: Yes.
Child #1: Why is she white and you are black?
Child #2: Because I am adopted, and black people have more melanin than white people do.
Child #1: Oh, let's go on the high bars.
