All You Need Is Love

This is the kind of crap that holds the Human Race back from evolving. Child welfare groups are calling for an overhaul of Federal laws dealing with transracial adoption. They claim that black children raised by white families, may not be best for the children. This is based in part on a study performed by the Donaldson Institute. The report states; "There is a higher rate of problems in minority foster children adopted transracially than in-race, all children deserve to be raised in families that respect their cultural heritage." Crap, crap, more crap. Current legislation prohibits race from being taken into consideration in most decisions about adoption from foster care. Some have suggested racial training for the adoptive parents. That's just great, let's teach parents what black/white kids eat and white kind of music they should listen to. Go ahead, perpetuate the old racial stereotypes. I have known a few, and even was married to an adopted woman. Her birth and adoptive parents were from the same race. What I have learned form that experience is this; adopted children sometimes have difficulty accepting that fact well into adulthood, even when race is not an issue. I suppose it is hard just to deal with the fact that those who gave you life, gave you away. I think we all know that the most important qualification for a parent is that they love their children. The many children waiting for a home don't care what shade of skin that love is wrapped in.
