To be clear, not because we are actively adopting this year, but because I plan to, and I got to thinking about it when I was perusing the “available” children in the area.
Whatever struggle a child may (or may not) have from being adopted by different race parents, it still beats staying in the foster system. No question. I would go ahead and adopt whatever child is available and needs a home, and know that you are doing something amazing for that child regardless of their skin color.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
