My wife and I went to a party over the weekend. The couple's (White) house we went to just adopted a 18 month old child (Black) in addition to already having a child. I was getting a drink when I over heard a few people saying "Not sure why they adopted a Black child.". So I looked up at them with a :stoneface: , and a few minutes later the chick walked up to me and said "What I said didnt come out the way it was intentioned". Kind of reminded me of some undertones that played out in the movie Losing Isiah. So what's ya'll opinion?
 
I always think there is some dark back story when I see a black kid with a white family.
Usually I'll give them a story in my head.
But nah I'm all for it. I know a black lady with a chinese, spanish, and white kid. All adopted, 2 are challenged.
she's a saint

I don't have a problem with people adopting outside of their race as long as they're loving and supportive parents.

That's what Losing Isaiah was about.
 
in and of itself - a non-issue

but i do think angelina jolie is gross looking
hasn't been hot in 20 years...if you'd like that opinion as well

sometimes have a prob object-o-fyin' da womenz
 
As long as the parents treat the kid with love and care, that's all that matters. And maybe having a black child will push the white parents to do more research on the state of the Black Man/woman in America. Because that "talk" is going to come up once the child gets older, and the white parent is going to have to explain some things to the child. And it's gonna be hard speaking on injustices that you never had to undergo, nahmean?
 
Yall are trippin if yall don't think PART of the reason it happens isn't for show. Yes love is also part of the equation but I believe the " look at how I save the little colored child's life" plays into it as well.

my opinion on this is the exact same as my opinion on parents of a different race adopting white children
 
Personally, I do find it a little odd when famous people would rather adopt a foreign child instead of an American child.

It seems a bit like a trend to me.
 
As a white man, I have always wanted to adopt from Africa or another part of the world.

Give those children a shot at life and help them to the utmost of my ability.

When we lived on the east coast we had children from NYC come stay with us each summer. One was made fun of daily for being fat, the other's mom was a crackhead and slept in the bath tub. Truly shaped who I am for the rest of my life.
