your children already in the home? So here is our situation. We are going to be having our homestudy updated within the next couple of weeks. We are attempting to adopt through foster care. Both of our girls are adopted. Oldest in Caucasian and youngest is Caucasian/ Persian. We have thus far put that we are open to everything but full AA. (We are aware that sometime biracial children can and are darker skinned than many AA people.) My hubby and I go back and forth on this. I am open to any race. He feels that in this country adopting a child that is Asian or Hispanic is not "frowned" upon, but when a white family adopts an AA child it can become an issue with others. He is worried how that will impact our girls. Have a friend of a friend whose family adopted an AA little boy, he and his sister who is their bio child have no relationship now. She has resented the fact that she was constantly having to explain their family to others. I feel if we have any child tha is not Caucasian we will have to explain ourselves. Has anyone elses kids felt this way? Do strangers question your family and put you in an akward position? Did anyone else have these concerns or fears before adopting a child of a diff. race? Thanks.
