I've Heard Many Of Those Comments
Regarding adoption and since I am African-American many people have asked me why I do not adopt one of the many AA children here in the U.S. or why I would spend up to $20,000 to adopt a child when the state system is free. I have to go where my heart leads me and it is Ethiopia. When I'm asked why not a child here in America vs. Ethiopia, I respond isn't a child in Ethiopia as deserving of a loving home?
There are so many opinions and I guess as a adoptive parent you just have to do what your heart tells you and feels right for you. I see you understand that and have lived through insentitive remarks and opinions of others.
