Hi!

We are Rob and Tammy and have two adopted boys a(all caucasian) and we currently waiting for Interstate compact to go through to bring our aa son home. He is two and half and needs a kidney transplant. The difference in our story from yours is that we are and have adopted through children services. My youngest was abandoned at birth then put in a group home for medically fragile children where he is til we get him. My oldest has autism and was taken away at two because of neglect and my middle child has the same bmom as the first and was taken at 5 days old for same reasons(taking him bar hopping). They were in foster care where they remained til we got them at the ages of 6 and a week from being two. They are now 10 1/2 and 6. My question is; Being that we are caucasian and he is African American, Is there anything we should expect or should do when raising child of another heritage? I know people will stare and make rude comments but what do you do in these situations?
