I think my thought here is premature but it's been onmy mind so just want to sound it out with you all. I live in a community that is CC dominate but certainly not exclusively so, however it's also a huge adoption state and I saw a statistic recently that we have one of the largest international adoption communities. My baby is AA and I've been meeting other people who are adopting. Was at a restaurant the other day and the hostess wound up sitting with me and my two daughters after the meal telling me aobut her pending adoption (1/4 AA, 1/4 CC, 1/2 Hispanic). I also met a lady through my mother's office who is adopting from Guatamala, as well as a good friend of mine adopting from China. All of these babies are within 6-7 months in age from each other - mine's the only one here yet.

So shall I get to the point? A commonality for these children is that they are transracial adoptees to primarily CC families (my husband is NA as is our older daughter). I know babies don't "play" but I'd love to plant a seed that we should form a monthly playgroup. They may not all look like one another but I'm thinking that there could be real value. And at what age would we start. I'm thinking that talking about it now even if we don't do it for sometime because people move on and I might not know how to track people down later.
