1. At what age was your child when adopted?
0-2 (I have 1 Ten month old)

2. What race are you and your significant other?
White

3. What race is the child you have adopted?
African American

4. How often did you or your child experience racism personally?
I would say 3-4 times in 10 months

5. How difficult is it for your child to face these prejudice experiences?
Easy (I am very zero tolerance)

6. Do you teach your child the history of their culture and stress the importance of maintaining their culture?
Several times a week. He's still pretty little, but we talk abou this skin, hair and culture and his bio family when we are in the bath.

7. My Interracially adopted child have struggled with their cultural identity.
So far he doesn't!

8. Overall how do you feel your family has been effected by interracial adoption?
Very positive.

9. If there are any other comments you would like to voice to help me in my research please do so here.
Too many people are too afraid of the challenge. I think it's doable if it's what you really want!
