Well isn't that sweet, hopeful-okasan.

I'm a bit more pragmatic and race conscious. When black children stop being the least desired children to adopt; when discounts no longer need to be applied to black and biracial children in order to entice people to adopt them, then, and only then, will I entertain a "race doesn't matter" insouciance in my adoption choices as a black woman.

Our children are jewels and should be treated that way.
