Wow... I am just now checking this thread out... I'm glad I found it... where have I been???
Anyway, I'm sure that most of you know the struggle that I have been through to adopt my baby boy, B. I am a single AA in the State of Maine and I feel like I have been going through HELL to adopt my baby.
I've had the nanny comments, babysitter comments, the where's his mother comments, the dirty looks...
It's for this reason that we are packing up and moving as soon as the adoptions are final.
The worst thing was when a caseworker "jokingly" said: How dare you think you are going to come here and adopt a caucasian baby. We've had people wait for years for a healthy white child. I don't think that's doing to happen...
That is forever ingrained in my mind.
But you know what? My baby just had tubes put in his ears... he can hear me now. He can speak to me now. I'd keep every dirty look and nasty comment just to hear my white baby boy look at my brown face and say "I love you, mama"... like he does at least 100 times a day... It's worth it.
