We are an interracial couple. I'm CC. DH is black. We have friends, a black couple, who adopted two children. The oldest is a girl that is Hispanic/CC/AA but looks very much CC. At that same time we adopted a baby boy, he is black and darker than my DH so does not look much like me (that's probably a good thing). My friend and I used to kid that her daughter looked more like me and my son looked more like hers but as far as we were concerned, that just made us much more interesting than most families. I think most black families don't adopt white babies because of the wait and why wouldn't they want to share their culture with a child if possible? But if a black family is fostering a white child that becomes available for adoption, I think they SHOULD adopt that child if they are already bonded. Transracial adoption, either way, expands our world and keeps us all focused on the fact that love should be color blind.
