Nick:
I didn't mean to imply that adoption might be foreign to the AA population in general. What I meant was that these specific women seemed unhappy with the idea that adoption over birth, would be a first choice option.
Maybe it is more that they just didn't approve of a seemingly white middle aged woman having babies that are black?
Yet, the college kids, the AA individuals who are under forty, let's say, are by far the more accepting. I'd like to think this is a change in societal views, I don't know.
However, it's also true that my babies are seemingly more accepted in this area (college town) because we are involved and seen in many places. (This was true in parenting our first two children as well.....4-H leaders, Girl Scout leaders, Homeschooling leaders, church, etc. Our family was/is quite involved, and plans to be more so as our little ones mature.)
Sincerely,
Linny
