So, A mother dropped her son off at my church a few months ago, and asked our pastor to find him a home. He came to me because he knows I have the resources and that I love children. He has been living with me for a while now, he is 4 and he loves playing with my 3 yr old triplets, they are already like brothers. I am thinking about adopting him and making him my own. I am white and he is black. I have got mixed opinions from people on if they think its okay for me to raise him. What are your feelings?
I esp would like black peoples feelings on this.
I love him, he loves me, I can finacially take care of him and send him to good schools, I send him to a montessori school where its pretty diverse, and I also have black friends with children that he can play with/relate too.... I think I can give him everything he needs, but I just want to know why a lot of black people tend to think I am wrong for doing this?
