As foster parents, one of the things we looked for when purchasing a house was a more racially mixed neighborhood because we knew that we could get children of any race. So, all have been AA, except one who was Latino.
Big D gravitates towards shows and books that have AA people in them. She loves everyone but will also pay special attention to AA people at the playground. It is obviously very important to her.
Little D is in a clingy stage and doesn't like a lot of people at all. So, it is hard to tell with her right now.
Think about this: as a child , how would you have felt growing up in a place where no one you saw or knew looked like you? It would have been pretty hard.
Also, are you prepared for stares, comments, and questions? (not all negative, mind you)
