I'm CC and I adopted a biracial kiddo from foster care. :-) LOVE HER! I didn't care about race at all. And neither did my friend, who is AA and ended up adopting a CC/AA child and a Latino/CC child who is very very light skinned and looks full CC.

When we are out, most people assume my daughter is hers and her son is mine....which really kinda sucks for both of us, cause we adore our kiddos.

That being said. I hear the thought that AA people should adopt AA kids cause of the need, but really I hope the world is changing and that mixed families are becoming the norm.

When I was at the Rose Bowl over the weekend a huge percentage of the families where mixed by birth and there were white kids with dark parents and dark kids with white parents, blonde haired kids with AA curls...etc.

All this to say I hope that one day any child of any race will fit in the right family. Their family. I am so blessed to be raising my daugher and no other daughter in this world is more mine or right for me than her. And I know my AA friend feels that way about her sons.

Just my thoughts.
