There are so many black or biracial children out there now, that most agencies offer reduced adoption fees because of the glut. I had a biracial son (raised him for 2 1/2 years_ until his bmom decided to parent, she never terminated her rights), and we live in the country in mostly white america. Who knows how he would have felt down the road, but I didn't raise him "black" or "white", he was my son, and a blessing from God. By the way, his bmom lives in the same area as me, and his bfather is not involved, so she didn't provide him with any more"cultural exposure" than we did, but here he at least had a father and a Christian home.
