Thanks for your thoughtful and greatful words of wisdom. I too, have older relatives "concerned" about us adopting a child of another race. They seem to be stuck in the "old days" . Plus I know they are concerned because our oldest has autism and the one who we are about to adopt needs a kidney transplant. Well, we have had medically fragile foster children at the same time as having the autistic child and we did a great job. Honestly I have felt that a child with medical needs is far less easier than the autism. But I feel that God has his reasons and purposes for everything and he has lead us to these special children because they were meant for us and if people have a problem with that then they should ask the lord to help them because we are all Gods children and were created in "his image".
