CC family adopting an AA teen

I was just wondering if anyone has experience adopting a diferent race into your family. I have an all CC family and we are considering bringing a 14 y/o AA boy into our home for a forever home. It is just Hubby and I at this time, but we are foster parents too and are dedicated to continuing this.

I have never seen race as a barrier. People are people are people. But I was just hoping to hear about other experiences. The child (child! He's 14!) is old enough to make his own decision, but might be so desperate for a home that he doesn't think about what other people will think or say. Again, I don't care what people think or say, but I need to consider what this will be like for my potential child.

Just hoping to find some other people with similiar situations or knowledge.

Thanks! Jill
