The whole Creflo Dollar adoption story has gotten twisted over time. He had an established relationship with that particular child who just happened to be white. When he decided to adopt he wondered why he couldn't adopt that child and that prompted him to work through his issues. So he never set out to adopt a white child to work through his issues with race and racism.
When I first heard the scaled down version of the story that the media reported I thought it was odd. But knowing the whole story it makes more sense.
Quote:
Dollar says that he met his son when he was an educational therapist at a psychiatric hospital, and recounts that the child had many "horrible" experiences. Dollar, who went on to also adopt a black child, strongly advocates the adoption of needy children.
