I'm not looking at as a political statement. You could say that the people adopting the little girls from China are making a political statement. They are making a point of showing how one society devalues their girls.....
I think that some people are under the impression that some races or ethnic groups are easier to assimilate than others. They are trying to get the child to fit into their current lifestyle or social group. A child is going to change your life any way you look at it.
I saw a posting on this website where the poster was looking for some Asian friends for her child. She thought because she lived in an area were Asians lived that her child would be accepted by that group. Her child had no Asian friends because of her lack of cultural awareness. The child would make friends with Asian children but when their parents found out she was being raised by a CC family they cut off contact. I don’t think people think about all the implications of any transracial adoption.
