Something To Think About
First I want to say hi. "Hi!" I am a total newbie to the whole issue of fostering and adopting. SO and I only just started talking seriously about it yesterday. About 17 years ago I put my beautiful baby boy up for adoption. He went to a couple who had been trying for a long time to have a baby. At that time she had just m/c her fifth child. So I know he went to someone who desperately wanted a child and would love him unconditionally. I never asked if they were black or white or purple or whatever. I didn't care. My only concern was that they love him and would keep him safe and happy.
I am now on the other side of the issue. I have 2 other bio children. A 21 yo DD and a 6 yo DS. My children have been/are being taught to not see the color of a person't skin. I still am not sure tho if I am up to the challange of raising a child outside of my race. You all have certainly given me/us a lot to think about.
