Any mixed race couples who adopted an infant out there?

What kinds of issues did you face when you were deciding to adopt, how to go about, and during and after the process?


    




Snickette
My husband is of middle eastern origin and I am caucasian. We have adopted 2 children through foster care and continue to foster many others. 2 of our 3 adopted children are of a different origin to both of us, and our 3 bio kids are obviously bi-racial.

Adopting through foster care the main issues we faced were proving that we were able to support the child's previous culture, religion, etc, provide stability, social justice, and obviously a good home.

If you are looking to adopt the only way I would really suggest to you is foster care as so many children require adoption and you can be sure that you are parenting a child who really needs you.

I won't say that race doesn't matter, as it does. It is a part of a person as a whole and must be embraced and considered. But it doesn't have to be a negative difference if handled sensitively. I would suggest calling your local child protective services and asking them for some advice on their adoptions program. These are also issues that they will raise with you and guide you through.
