I have the problem of being an interracial and interfaith family. Husband is white and christian. I am black/puerto rican and Jewish. The puerto Rican side is Jewish. So Jewish agencies say that they almost never get a biracial kids just because there aren't a lot of minority jews around and the secular agencies say its okay to be jewish but theres a wait. We have been turned down by MANY,MANY agencies that don't reveal upfront that they are christian based, which to me is lying!I've been asked if I was willing to convert! As if being Jewish wasn't important to me. We have a bio son who was raised with both religions but its the husband who is nonpracticing christian. I am the one who took son to temple and hebrew classes. A birthmom might want a christian but I know many christians who are easter/christmas christians. I am the one in charge of religious education and my husband is okay with children being jewish. Is the goal of the agencies and moms to have chritianity or to have a parent teach about G-d?
