I wouldn’t call it harder or easier. Even though white babies are the highest in demand, I think Mixed babies come in 2nd or 3rd (after Hispanics) one is much more likely to get a mixed baby sooner and more quickly then someone waiting for a white baby. The same would apply to babies that aren’t white or mixed your just more likely to get a child that isn’t white ( Mixed, Black, Asian , Hispanic etc.) sooner.
Babysisterchriss I wish that were the case but its not some couples will refuse to adopt a baby/child that is not the same race as them.
An adoption agency is not going to place a child with a couple who has requested a certain race, unless they had other options. Some people/couples will list up to 3 preferences for race. Some don’t care and will take any child, where others might have 1.white 2. Mixed 3. Hispanic.

as far as I know, the most sought after babies in the US are white. I adopted a newborn baby 11 years ago and he is of mixed race. I think it is a longer wait for a white newborn. I certainly don't think it matters in the least but, unfortunately in the real world it does matter, a lot to some people.

My aunt and uncle (who are both Caucasian) had one biological daughter, and then my aunt was told it was too medically dangerous for her to carry another pregnancy. (long story) They decided to complete their family through adoption and were blessed with a sweet baby boy of Caucasian and Hispanic descent. Race was never an issue for my aunt and uncle, they didn't specify any preferences when they filed for adoption.
I think multi-racial children may have a harder time being placed with a family if the adoptive parents DO specify a racial preference when they file their paperwork. But really, most people who are adopting are just looking for a child to love and will happily embrace a baby of any ethnicity.

My son is mixed and that i'm white. so a methods I basically use Johnson and Johnson products. His hair continues to be actual mushy and superb, yet i'm confident which will substitute. truly, even as it does, I'ma might want to invite for help because i don't have a clue what to position in it, and so on. fortunately I easily have a pal that would want to help braid it and all that because i want it to augment out lengthy no matter if that's actual curly! I basically love braids in lil boys hair! guess even as all that occurs i'd be on the following askin what the heck to do! :)

I don't see anything wrong with it, I would absolutely love to adopt a mixed baby, I don't see why it would be harder or easier

Family of mine adopted a mixed baby. It was kind of hard because they are Caucasian, but they fought for what they wanted. & hell they got the beautiful baby. [We have many different races in my family by the way. blood family; different races] If you want a mixed baby fight for the right to have it; show you already love the baby as if it was yours.

parnets who want a baby will adopt no matter the race, its older kids who have problems being placed. And yes, older mixed or non-caucasian kids have a harder time finding families.

I think it's about the same. Babies don't have trouble being adopted, it's the older kids that have trouble.
