One of my wife’s (white) friends has adopted two mixed-race kids so far.
About a decade ago, I had a friend who was trying to adopt a black foster child. They had to really fight. One of the women (black) at social services told her that it was ‘inappropriate’ for her and her husband to have a black child. “He should be with his own kind.”
Thankfully, the judge disagreed; but it was a hell of a fight and they almost lost him.
I’m glad things have changed.
