At then end of this movie the mothers come to understand that they both are important to Isaiah. Transracial adoption can and does work, it just takes work.

I had a boss with a purple face (from a port-stain birthmark) and I knew someone with an orange face (because she used too much makeup to cover her acne) and a green face (from an allergic reaction to carrots) and a gray face (from too much smoking).

I'm not saying that the child should ignore their biological cultural heritage and replace it with "white" culture at all. Don't put words in my mouth. We need to stop giving the politics attention and instead work on ways to transcend them by promoting more inclusive cultural morality. And i'm not saying that we "shouldn't discuss the child's race", either. WE SHOULD concentrate on our similarities rather than the differences.

@LeeMIlby Besides, it's easy to make statements when White is the racialized color of the socio-economic class in power. "Just get with the program" mentality denies cultural education, because if the adopted transracial child is not "passing" as white, then there would be flaws in the child's self-perception. Race isn't a simple moral issue in America, it never was. I'm sure you could agree it's a highly political subject, so it's not the critic's that are to blame just because they disagree.

@LeeMIlby Providing a safe home for an adopted transracial child & promoting their specific cultural intelligence aren't mutually exclusive. Although I agree there is more to humanity than skin color, the truth is that in American society it is much more than that, with race presenting more of a politicized issue rather than a moral one. Beyond that, it would be the pink elephant in the room & detrimental to the child's self-image if their race would never be discussed.

White is the majority. If another race were the majority in the US then it would be the same deal with them.

Adoption isn't about doing someone a favor, it's about creating a family.

[LeeMIlby]

It's better to teach what you know than to pretend to know a culture you never lived. Idiotic clips like this promote the idea that culture is more important than life itself.

So you would rather place a child into a home where they are abused, resented, and neglected, just because "oh, well at least the kid is surrounded by others of their KIND" REALLY? What is this ideology truly promoting?

There is more to humanity than skin color.

@phantomsuccour why do whites complain and demonize whites who adopt blacks...white people do it to...they aren't innocent...no one is innocent now stop stereotyping...

[phantomsuccour]

@gaylolful well, it shouldn't matter but why do blacks complain and demonize the whites who adopt black kids?
