Is it very ok to adopt a baby of different race?

Doodie

As long as they are a member of the human race

Ginny Jin

Yes. As long as the child is loved I can't see why not.

Don't see why not. It's just outside appearance. We're all people inside.

Lisa

nothing wrong with it at all

Ms E

Absolutely, I am a black woman and I plan on adopting2 Korean children through international adoption.

Yes surely love doesn't know color

Of course. So long as you can take care of that child then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's probably the greatest gift you can ever give.

You are giving that child the chance for a better life and why should it matter what race that child is from? They deserve the chance to make something of themselves just as much as a child from our own race does!

As is the case with any adopted child though the key is to be honest, to let the child know where they are from and to teach them about their heritage...

I think it's fine. Love is love regardless of race. The only thing you have to worry about is other people's comments. But should this really matter? In an ideal world I guess people would adopt kids of the same race, but this world isn't ideal and I would rather have loving parents of a diff race than no parents!

of course it is, at the end of the day we are all the same race - humans.

I think it's ok as long as you can teach the child about where they come from regarding their race.

It's Ok as long as your Ok with it. Don't do something that your not going to be sure of.

Love doesn't see in colors.

If you truely want a baby, when they put this child in your arms, you will love him/her regardless of race. It won't matter to you if your child is black or asian or hispanic or african... it'll be your child... that's all that really matters.

I have several friends who were brought up by white parents, they're all great people. Haven't a mixed race family didn't adversely affect them at all.

Good luck, and I hope that you find the answer your looking for!

Every child deserves a loving home & family, regardless of race! :)

You should only adopt babies of the human race, or they might not be able to survive on this planet.

My aunt couldn't have children, so she and my uncle became foster parents and adopted two baby boys that were in their care. They were brothers, and they were black (my aunt and uncle are white). Anyway, they love those kids, and the kids adore them. Race doesn't matter to the parent or the child, so it shouldn't be a problem to anyone else.

time for a change

Yes, and when you do why not to a life history book for the child so they know where they come from.

Daviboi

As long as you love them as you're own and bring them up well then it's fine.

I_Love_McRedneck

I'd like to understand why you think it might not be. All children deserve to be loved. Race is meaningless.

hunkybabey

Of course it is!

I would someday love to adopt a little girl from somewhere.

Go for it, thats the kindest thing you can do hunni.

justme

Yes - adoption will be a dream come true for a little one alone in the world. Teach him/her to be kind no matter what race

I believe so. We are all human, race doesn't matter.

I think it is, but a whole lot of people disagree.

There was a thing on 60 Minutes one time about a whole bunch of black infants that were sent from the US to some Canadian orphanage because there aren't enough Black families looking to adopt, and people didn't think White couples should adopt Black babies.

If I could adopt an infant of any other race tomorrow I would, and I'm pretty confident that I'd know how to raise that child and love him/her enough (and know how to present the matter of color) so that he/she wouldn't have "issues" over being a different race than I am.

My adopted son is a different ethnicity than I am. It isn't an issue for us.

ghetto_princess283

Yes I think so. My boyfriend is Haitian (very dark skin) and was adopted by white people. He said they got stares in public lol but it didn't bother him. He loves his family very much and they love him also. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Jaimee

you wouldn't be the first one to do it

E's Mommy

It's great! There's nothing wrong with adopting a child of a different race. As long as you're giving the child a good, loving, caring home, then their skin color, nor your skin color matters.

AdoptiveMama

Yes...it is!

minni

of course it is
ur race shudnt matter sa long as ur willing to taker care of the child show them love and keep them safe
