Bravo!!
Thanks for your wonderful story. We too considered interracial adoption, at the time lived in a more diverse area. But chickened out because of my in-laws. They are blatently racist. Now we live in an extremely rural, very redneck area. Attitudes here are poor. I work intensly with the youth at our church on respect for diversity, hoping to have some impact. So we choose a different route and adopted within our race, but internationally. There are only 2 internationally adopted children in our entire community. Hopefully the picture here will change with time. And hopefully for the good, although with the leader of the Aryan nation setting up headquarters in the neighboring county - is pretty scary?
