i think the fact that you are thinking of ways for your child to connect and knowing that there are challenges dealing with racial differences is a sign that you will be fine in adopting.........
i have one aa son and a biracial son.....while they are young, i believe that i am not doing them a disservice by adopting them..... the cold truth is that they would have remained in a foster system if i did not........since we were a second placement for our first son...in his short 4 month life.......
i think we, me included, get so caught up in racial (which we must address at some time) need to realize our duty regardless of our childrens color, is to raise them as good caring people......once that is their foundation.... the rest can be addressed, in conjunction.
i am not sure if that sounds right..... and i am not sure whether others will agree...... but that is my belief.....
