Nothing for awhile

I would not approach the subject of your child being adopted because of his skin until he/she was old enough to understand (maybe grown).

For now he/she should know his/her mother loved her enough to want her/him to have a special loving home to grow up in, and that she wasn't ready to be his/her mommy. I would almost suggest that your child hear it from his birth parent since it wasn't a choice that you made.

It seems to me that it is not a racial issue, it is a fear of what other's will think issue. Fear is the greatest block in defeating racism.
