....In the description they stated that being BR comes with it's own special set of challenges and they placed BR infants with BR couples in order to make sure that those challenges were met.

Just wanted to see what everyone else thought of that logic? ---aclee

You know.....I'm not exactly sure what I think of this; but my first impression is that I don't agree with it. My first impression is---I think to believe interracial couples have challenges of their own, is almost backward thinking. Hmmmmmm....maybe after reading other opinions about this, I might think differently. But for now, I don't like it.

I DO agree though, with agencies who won't allow couples to adopt a bi-racial (AA/CC) baby, unless they'll adopt a full AA baby. My thinking on this, is when a couple wants a bi-racial baby, it sometimes gets down to 'how much AA IS there with this baby??!!' And that, is ridiculous.

OT a bit....I can tell you that while we wait this time for another AA baby.....I'm becoming more and more discouraged by the (almost) daily raising of fees. At the rate adoption fees are going, most people won't be able to adopt more than one baby---if any at all!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Linny
