A number of years ago, when we thought we would be unable to conceive a child of our own, we investigated adoption. At that time we were told there was a shortage of Caucasian infants but plenty of Black infants to adopt. Since we are not Black, we asked some Black friends their opinion about us adopting a Black child. They said that doing so would cause a number of social problems for the child and they recommended against it. I recoiled at this logic, that it would be better for an infant to grow up without a loving family than to have a loving family but some social problems because he was not “raised Black”. What a sad world we live in.
I have four black adopted kids. My friends adopted black infants too. No problems, but I kept them away from leftists.
Thank you for your post, somewhere, I have recently read almost exactly what you just said stated elsewhere. I can’t remember where for anything.
Now I remember, there is actually a Law and Order episode where a troubled drug addicted young African American woman gives up her child for adoption and then kidnaps the baby back from the white parents. And something like this is a part of the defense of the woman at the trial, the words you said:
“Since we are not Black, we asked some Black friends their opinion about us adopting a Black child. They said that doing so would cause a number of social problems for the child and they recommended against it.”
They either found the woman not guilty or else, the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
