Is the treatment different?

white parents adopt black child
white parent gives birth to a biracial child
does society treaty these two cases differently?
like if the adopted black child went through mom's purse would he/she be more likely suspected of stealing than a mixed child going through mother's purse?

Yes, I have heard that biracial children are more accepted by society than black children of white parents in my adoption circles. There are about 125 families in our adoption support group and it is something i have heard consistantly.
I was warned to carry not only a picture of my daughter but also a family photo to prove she IS my daughter if she got lost at the mall. An adoptive family i know, it took a half hour of convincing the police their son was actually their son. I guess it didn't help that the son was saying "I don't know who these people are". Yes very funny now, at the time, not so much.
hope i helped:) |

I think any negetive views of either are disgusting myself. A cousin of mine has three children, the two older ones are biracial. Our greatgrandmother insisted she abort the older ones when my cousin was pregnant because "if she loved her, she would give birth to n******r babies". She even treated the older one differently, because she looked african american and her younger brother was fair skinned with blondish hair. Youngest child is white and was treated like gold by our greatgrandmother, which made us all absolutely SICK.
As for the stereotype of a black child versus biracial child going thru your purse.....I will put it like this: regardless of the race of the child(black,white,biracial)....if they are young, no....teenagers, probably (because almost all of us stole something from our folks at some point in our adolescent years). |

I've got some pretty racist relatives, that we barely see once a decade. They've responded to our adoption of black kids differently than my sister having biological bi-racial children, meaning, they've been marginally more accepting of it. It could be that time has passed and even some attitudes get eroded away. But I suspect it's because we did the "saintly" thing by adopting instead of having an interracial marriage, if that makes any sense. |

I don't have any statistics but what I wanted to say was, "No. There is no difference." My mouth hung open when I read the first poster's answer. How sad. |
