I personally would do it...and if they were ignorant (I would school them...LOL...give them a chance to change) I wouldn't be around them. One, because any child that is adopted will feel 'different' and if they don't love a child that is different than them...isn't that bashing all differences?

I decided that when we were adopting that it mattered more to me what WE were comfortable with and less to do with our families...if I was caught up in that I wouldn't do MANY things in my life (including marry so young...move...LOL).

That being said if you aren't prepared for contact to be cut off then I DO NOT believe you should adopt transracially. I also do not believe biracial babies will be any more tolerated than an AA child...and if that is so...isn't that attitude itself detrimenting to a child? I mean...to think he is only loved because he is half white?

I'm part german and if someone said...I would only accept PART german not full german because my family will have an easier time with it (not that this is what you are saying) I would feel like that is a slap in the face to my heritage.

Good luck...its such a shame the racism and hatred that lives in some people....my goodness the Devil really seems to have his claws in so many people still.

((big hugs)) it can't be easy for you...
