My Wife and I adopted our son almost 2 years agao and have found it to be wonderful we are both white and our son Franklin is AA and quite dark now. We relocated to a very rural wyoming town and have not had any issues with it. People look but we think it is because of Franklin's personality and not the differences between us and him.
Before we moved we would get looks and stares and some really ignorant and stupid comments at times. And this was in So. Coalifornia where we though there would not be as much of that.
For those that were really curious we would exlain that Franklin was our son and adopted for those that were ignorant or stupid and jst spouting off my wife and I would say the she carried him for 13 months and he was burnt and they left us alone.
We tend to use humor to mask our total irritation with people who hae no business in the issue.
But everyone knows he is loved and very much our little boy!
