This one needs to be watched. Like all the racial ones and they "why not black, why not (fill in whatever color in the world)."
This one has turned ugly, as racial ones always do. I've participated on the thread and can't moderate it. Can other CM's keep an eye on it, please?
I'll try my best to behave. Good grief, why not just let people make decisions that are best for them and not judge them for it? Sheesh people!

I can't moderate it anyway, but I had to stop even looking at that thread by last night as I was yelling at the computer reading it I was so mad!! :grr:
I understand! I think it shocks people that I think you should be allowed to choose what you are comfortable with and what you're not, and I don't think that makes you prejudicied. I think there are more important things in this world to argue about than what skin color you are willing to adopt.

Exactly!!!!
Your boys are just gorgeous! Those big grins put a smile on my face!
What I find so tiring is that 1/2 the time, these threads do not start out asking anything about aa vs. other nationalities etc. but a general "info" and yet someone ALWAYS has to post "well why are you only adopting a bi racial child?" It has nothing to do with the thread at all.

Ani, I am so sorry about this morning. I woke up with a headache and a bad cough. I coughed so much today that it hurt my stomach and I threw up a few times. :sick: This evening I was actually able to eat, still coughing bad, and now I am running a fever. I maybe MIA for a day or two. Right now I am back here in the computer room cause it is too cold in the rest of the house. I am sitting here drinking my TheraFlu. Gosh I love this stuff when I am sick. It doesn't matter if I have the flu or not, it always makes me feel better. :arrow:
I don't feel I can type the reply I want to on the open forums. I think I'd end up with a usernote myself! ;)
I would really like to ask a certain someone how it feels to be the guru up on her pedestal judging others for their decisions.
I'd also like to ask her, does it make my child, or me for that matter, less of a person because he's not full AA? I didn't choose his race, but if I had, it wouldn't make me a prejudicied person.
I am walking away from this thread! I have done good, I have bitten my tongue so to speak, but I can no longer read it. I won't hold off any longer if I do and well, that just wouldn't be good.
As I mentioned above, I had to stop reading that thread it was making me so mad, but when I saw the last post was from Loveajax - who I really like - I just had to check. Her last post gave me a smile this morning. Well said. :)
