I've read a lot of this forum, though not all of it, and I am in tears. My husband and I are considering adopting a little boy from Ethiopia and I have been terrified that if I did, I wouldn't be able to give him a good life, just because we are white and he wouldn't be. I don't really care what color my children are, any children are, but I don't want stigma attached to him, either.
Do you think it would be a good idea for me to get in touch with african american groups in the nearest large city (45 miles away) and see if there are Ethiopian familes in the area that would be willing to talk with me, that might be willing to become friends so that my child might have opportunities to interact with other black children? Does that sound silly, or does it make sense?
I'm so confused I'm not sure which way to go. I keep having dreams of introducing a tall black man as my son...every night I have these dreams. I know that I'm being called to do it and I know that it is my social responsibility as a *human* to bring another child into my family because I have the love to do so.
But I'm terrified of it at the same time. Is that normal?
perhaps I should have started a new Thread. I feel like I'm totally off topic now...
