Are you AA? If not, the response you gave is not germane since the question was not whether you would adopt a child of a different race, but whether you as an AA parent or parent-to-be would look to adopt a child of a different race.

Our children are too precious to be relegated to the bottom of the barrel. And as for this "we're all flowers" foolishness said by Shai's Mom, I'd have to say that clearly you've not experienced life as a vilified minority in America. It amazes me how much some people refuse to acknowledge race politics in this country.

If I wish real hard, can I pretend poverty, disease, suffering and strife don't exist as well?
