Transracial Adoption: ColorsNW February Story

This white woman is crying and asking how can they not love her son.  She should talk to Black mothers and fathers accross America. This society still very racist and when you are white you don't have to know this fact!

Black children should be in Black homes or in homes with parents of colour, Latino, Asian, etc.  At least a family of colour will understand more than a white family.

I agree it's very foreign to most people that most transracial adoptees 'have to learn first hand about their birth cultures.'

I asked my father why he never had any black friends. He says he did at work. I reply, why haven't I ever seen them. He just stayed quiet and ate his food.

I saw your comment and it just reinforced my ideas on just why do white people adopt black children when they don't have black friend themselves. I use to watch the adoption programs where canadians were adopting children from Haiti and at the airport they would have their friends and family waiting to greet them and there was NEVER any black friends in those groups.

My adoption was famous. My family was on Oprah because my family fought the state for my adoption. But now, I still feel so incomplete. I've been a black man in a white community, family, gradeschool. I'm 26 and now just coming to terms with my identity.

Why are you against the honkys? using that word is offensive to them

If not there will be I plan on adopting half of however many children I have. Adoption is beautiful no matter what race you adopt there still your baby.

I agree. But I was just curious.

This documentary is so much better than the adoptedthemovie clips.
