I try to tell them about adoption, but I sometimes get the response, "No one is going to want to adopt my African-American child." And to that I reply that that is absurd. That there are many, many wonderful couples who would love to adopt their baby.

I was just wondering is that true? I would imagine that someone who sincerely wants a child would want any child regardless of race. Am I looking at the world through hopeful rose-colored glasses?

If someone out there sincerely wants a baby, try typing in the words African-American Adoption in your search engine, and you will see that there are countless infants waiting to be adopted.
