Supa-
I meant to ask you this, but never did. Sorry if this is sort of hijacking this thread...I recall a thread (similar to this one...deja vue) where you said you were only looking for a BR male, because you were in a BR relationship. As I recall right till the end of that whole thread, you stuck to your guns and said you and DH would only accept a BR infant. From pictures of H, I couldn't tell one way or another...but if you are comfortable, could you share what ended up changing both your mind on that? If it's too personal, I understand, I was just curious what caused you to open up your options.
I adopted a black male too. We knew going in that if we didn't specify anything the odds were as high as 75 or 80 percent that we would end up matched to a situation where the gender was either unknown or male. He was meant to be our son. Now that we are looking at foster care I'm SICKENED then there are many, many young black males and young black male sibling groups available. All the SW say that they go LAST. Very sad. I want one daughter, so I can braid her hair...after that, we're all about adopting those adorable boys
