Well "technically" I will be adopting interacially...My boys are biracial..and although they are tan, they have some very distinguishing "CC features" especially their hair..My youngest son has straight hair.
People never think that they are my children because we look absolutely nothing alike..me being a very darkskinned AA and them being very light skinned.
As a matter of fact i got asked the other day by a complete stranger in the park: Is that your baby? (Referring to my 1 y/o) The lady was first asking me how old he was and I told her and the she kind of stammered out : Is that your baby? I boldly said yes...She looked backed at me and was ok (like yeah right)
But my first foster child was full CC and people OFTEN assumed he was my bio son....Go figure!
I am open to ALL races and in the future after I can't foster anymore due to having too many children (they only allow 5 when you foster) I plan to adopt from Haiti, India and/or Vietnam as well......
i know LOTs of AA who have adopted outside of their race ..If you like I can PM you some Yahoo Groups where we all hang out
