Isn't that assuming that it's always white parents adopting non-white kids? To me that seems inherently racist.

Ohhh, I suppose it might.....and, at the time of creating these forum titles, I believe most of the adoption talk was about white parents to non-white babies/children.

Over time, I can tell you that most of the discussions have fallen into the African-American adoption forum and the Transracial adoption forum. Most have been AA or seemingly white parents adopting AA or multi-racial babies; but there are families who have adopted Asian or other babies/children too. (As our family has done as well.)

You'll find that most of the traffic for these discussions are in the two I"ve already mentioned. And, as I said, I suppose it might seen inherently racist, but I know it was never meant to be.

Sincerely,

Linny

For the most part, trans racial and transcultural adoption means Caucasian parents adopting children from a different race or country. Its somewhat rare (but starting to become more common) to see a person of color adopting trans racially - especially if the baby is Caucasian baby because of racism and White privilege. We're African American and our daughter is Asian-American and we have only seen a family like ours only once (he was a single African American dad who had adopted two sons from Vietnam and Guatemala).
