So what are your opinions on this?

Does it matter that the baby is white?

Many are of the opinion that it is hard to get black babies adopted, and that this is kind of a slap in the face.

Also, are they setting their white child up for identity issues in adulthood?


I love babies so I think a parent who can give a baby the love and care it deserves, should do so without being questioned and race shouldn't be an issue.
 
When it comes to adoption it has to be a right fit, and if they felt that this baby is right for them then so be it.

On the flipside, Black children are less likely to be adopted than a white child.
 
This could be an issue for many people...not for me. I'm gonna give a standard answer, for things like this....I DON'T CARE. I don't know them, their family, their values, etc..so, whereas this may not be something that I-I-I-I would do, I don't wanna speak for what's best for the next man.
 
I love babies so I think a parent who can give a baby the love and care it deserves, should do so without being questioned and race shouldn't be an issue.

When it comes to babies, race and class do not matter. All that matters is that they love this baby with all they have in them. If they do that, all else is bullshit.
 
I'm surprised big brother actually let this happen. Good for them, I hope the baby grows up well. Times are changing....slowly.
 
I concur with most of the comments here. Doesn't matter what colour the child is as long as you show the child the love and attention the child deserves.
 
Does the article say the baby is actually "white" (or does she just look light at the moment)?

Adopting a CAC-let?!! WTF!
:smh:


I kid. :D


SHIT I AINT KIDDING !!! I Have A Problem With Them Adopting This Caucaziod Baby.... My Reason Is Because We Are Not In A Space Yet Where This Can Be Ok...

And Im Not Talking Entirely About Race....

We Need To Get Out Communities In Order Before We Start To Do Stuff Of This Nature.... There Is To Many Black Babies With Out Homes...

We Dont Come From A Hateful Race Of People, But I Think We Should Start Being A Little Bit More Understanding To Our Needs...


I Tried To Make This Post As Positive As Possible, With Out Taking It Out On The Baby.... But Man This Saddens Me, Because Im Willing To Bet Good Money They Did It For Other Reasons Than They Stated...


Smh At My Brain Washed People...:smh::smh::smh:
 
i do find it questionable that if adopting and your black, you would pass up a black child over a white child. especially with how many black kids are in the system....

i mean do you go in specifically looking for white babies? not even regarding there are black ones?

do they think a black child wouldn't make it in this world if they raised them?

i'm not condemning, just asking.....:smh:

isn't she married to a white male though?

it's a different story.


personally what i would get out of it was the husbands parents told him he better not have any chocalate babies......
 
I'm not mad at orphans getting adopted, but there are too many black babies/preteens who will never have a loving home for me to even consider adopting a nonblack child.
 
I'm curious as to the frame of mind you would have to be in for it not to be an issue.Personally I'd only adopt a black child, but to each his own!!!
 
Did anybody actually take the time to read the story attached to the pictures? This couple had been trying to conceive their own child and, after three miscarriages, the couple were confronted with a family friend telling them that a child was soon to be born that was being put up for adoption. I don't think this couple thought about race or any other issue besides nurturing and caring for a child they wanted - and tried to have - for so long. It's not like they INTENTIONALLY sought a white child, and were trying to shun black babies or something. From my perspective, it seems like they felt this was "their child," especially considering the circumstances surrounding the adoption...
 
So much to say on this topic...But I gotta go to work-
My husband was the flip of this-White family adopted a biracial/black child(puerto rican and black. There a wonderful family-but there were issues. Identity, belonging, racial...You name it. Struggles...
But-they loved him none the less.
I'll come back later w/ more...Gotta take my black ass to work.:angry:
 
White/black does it really matter? It is a freaking baby that is going to need love and care to become a productive member of this society. To many times we concern ourselves with the things that are not really that important. The white dude that was recently in the news for being tops at Moorehouse was taken in by a black family after his white family became abusive. As soon at the story hit hte bgol masses everyone started screaming outrage.

Hey bruh typing in all caps and in bold doesnt get your point across any better. Somebody does something out of the norm then all of a sudden they are considered an outrage. The worst part about this is you probably pass these things down to you children and they pass it down to theirs then the freakin cycle never ends. What are you doing to make our community stronger?

Ever stop to think that you're the brainwashed one?
 
The complete stupidity I continously see on this board- almost always by males interloping on a female board- has long ago stopped being annoying. Now it's a good source of entertainment.

Like someone said in an earlier post It's a BABY!!!!!

:lol:
 
All the Black babies in the country. For those of you who say, "Well at least they got A baby, race doesn't matter." IDEALLY, I agree, but America ain't FUCKIN ideal. Black kids damn sure don't get a fair shake and you can double down on that if they in the system. Just SMH.
 
THEY BOTH LOOK RIDICULOUS WITH THAT HAMSTER LOOKING CAC-LET. NO NEED EXPATIATING ON THIS BULLSHIT.
:hmm:
THIS THREAD HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN TERMINATED BY SEAN.

Jo, I read the article and I stand by my post

I'm not mad at orphans getting adopted, but there are too many black babies/preteens who will never have a loving home for me to even consider adopting a nonblack child.
