Presented with possible adoption of biracial child
I know the birthmom. She is 17 and pregnant to a 22 year old AA man who is in jail. I have talked a couple times to family members of the young woman and they would be thrilled to have my husband and I adopt the baby but, of course, it is ultimately the girl's decision.
My favor of you while we contemplate/start this process is to give me advice of things to expect in a transracial adoption. My husband and I are open to this but are wary of his parents' opinion. My mother is open and can love any child no matter color, appearance, etc.
Thank you so much. I hope the journey will be positive.
