Would you adopt transracially?

Question

If you were to adopt a child, would you adopt a child of your own race/ethnicity or a child with a different race/ethnicity. Lots of people are adopting from China or South America right now, but I'm really wondering about white people adopting African-American children from the U.S. Also, I'm asking African-Americans if they would adopt white children. Would you? What's your reasoning?

Answer 1

For me personally, it wouldnt matter. A child in need, needs a mother indeed. ok that was corny, but seriously, if someone wants to adopt, for whatever their reasons are, it shouldnt matter, a child needs a good home whether they are chocolate, caramel, or vanilla. To lend a hand out and say you want to adopt should also mean that you are willing to take in a CHILD. not to dig deeper than that a child is a child, and every child needs love. Everyone knows how to love, so share that love!!

Answer 2

Kids are great. If I didn't already have four of them running around I would adopt.

I'm not sure what I'd base the decision on, but it wouldn't be based on race.

Answer 3

I will have to adopt one day in the future...I hope to bring home a healthy human being

Answer 4

Your questions conveys that you have deep seated
racist views. Particularly to black people. white or black , or
whatever people that adopt children from other ethnic back
grounds with motives to provide and orphan child a good
home would not be able to explain their thought process
or feelings to you. Your mind/heart doesn/t have the capability
of understanding. Someone like you wouldn't have a clue.

Answer 5

Children are children - and color doesn't come into it as far as I'm concerned.
