Again, supply does not equal demand for placement of these kids. Which is why they end up in foster care.
If the agencies did not make such rules, they would lose out on a potential source of adoptive parents for their harder-to-place full AA babies.
Again, it's not right. I agree. But it's the reality in this "industry."

Well, the fact is, if a family isn't "up to the challenge of raising a full AA baby," then they may not be "up to the challenge" of raising a biracial child either. Honestly, in the mind of many (racists), if a person has any AA in them, then they are AA. So folks who think that their child will be more accepted or have an easier time b/c they are biracial vs. full AA are naive.
