Nope, I get offended when others talk about AA transracial adoption & make it to be so much harder and so much more difficult than parenting another child would be that wasn't AA. I don't agree, and I like to stand up for the fact that it does and can work.
Actually it's much like those in an Open Adoption vs Closed Adoption. Is an OA harder? Yes in some ways, but it has so much to offer also. So, I like to stand up for it, because I don't want it to be a widely accepted fact that it's harder. The more we let it be known that it can and does work, the more people will stop accepting that it's harder and challenge themselves & thier reasonings as to why (talking about people who are new to adoption mostly here, or who never gave it a second thought). Especially wanting to make it clear that it's okay to accept one match over another specifically because of skin tone.
BTW - I'm not offended by this post, nor anything which was said here. Just making that point.
