I'm late to this but my wife and I adopted a white boy and neither of us is white. I don't think our experience has been drastically different from that of other transracial families, but I had another foster/adoptive mother (white) ask us how we ended up with a white child and then say that it "made sense" after she learned that he is Deaf. I felt like she was saying we weren't good enough for a "normal" white child but it "makes sense" because my son isn't good enough for a white family. Oh, and we had the opposite hair issues - my son has super curly hair that his bio family had no idea how to handle, so my wife and I taught him how to comb it and grow it out without it being wild

Are there many of these compared to the other way around (stories about white families adopting black children)? I'm curious about the various challenges and concerns that happen in this situation & if they differ a lot from the white family adopting black children.

My wife and I are in our mid 30's and we are getting ready to start the adoption process after talking about it for two years. I don't think we are going to have any biological kids and really want to help kids that are already here. But every time I bring it up, I hear horror stories about kids that are crazy, that end up in jail at early ages, that try to kill the adoptive parents, ect.
