I was just watching BBC World and they were talking about cross-race adoption. What are your views of cross-race adoption (and try not to use Madonna in every answer)?

If the parents are ready for the comments and stares, I say fire away. Due to rudeness in this world, people are always gonna stare, and say rude things. But I know a man and woman who adopted a girl from Korea, and one from somewhere in South America, and both of those girls grew up in a white family, happy and well adjusted. The one from Korea was prom queen, homecoming queen, and valedictorian the year she graduated. She was also student council president, involved in all kinds of clubs, was a cheerleader, and played volleyball. It all depends on how you raise them.

I would adopt outside my race. But I am from a mixed family and race has never been an issue. To me adoption is about helping a child find a better life and the race of that child should not matter.

Any adoption requires patience. Cross race is really not that much different. The biggest obstacle is the adoptive parents ability to respect the culture and the nationality of the child.

I think a child in need is just that....a child in need. Who cares what color their skin is?
I guess the hardest part would be teaching your child about his or her heritage. Maybe a hundred years ago it wouldnt have been such a good idea, due to all the ignorant racist people in this world and how they acted toward minorities back then, but I think that this day and age it would be readily accepted.

Society being what it is, a lot of people will whine that the child is being taken away from his/her heritage. I see it differently. If you adopt a child and show him/her they are loved and teach them confidence in themselves then I think that is the main point. We are all created in God's image and I think that is all that matters..

What does providing love, family and stability have to do with race anyway? It should not matter. I know someone who has adopted 4 bi-racial children. What better way to teach our children tolerance and diversity?

Should be encouraged, after checking the suitability of background of the aspirant foster-parents, especially, their abilities to bring up the child with due dignity.

Color should not be a factor when an unwanted child gets parents who want them along with a loving home.
