I am CC and I my daughter is AA/Latino, most people think that she's mine. I have to tell them she is adopted, sometimes. I had a parent go into a long birth experience story, then asked me mine, wasn't sure if I was being tested or what, but I finally told her I have never given birth to a child.
I think if you love a child you can parent them, period. However, that being said, I think it would be hard to be the only child of color in school. I am moving to a diverse community so that my daughter will feel comfortable and I will adopt another AA/CC/Latino kid in the future. Yet I cannot protect her from everything and I think the only thing we can really do for our kids is give them love and support, cause they will always face something.
Sounds like you would be great parents for this child.
