[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 159752, member: 1631"] My cousin, who is a priest in South America, calls my family a rainbow family. My husband is Hispanic, my children African American, and I'm Caucasian (I guess that makes me a minority by being the only non-minority in my family). I know when we were adopting both children there were very few African American families adopting. When we were adopting easy child we waited only 3 months. The birth mom chose us and I was in the room when she was born. About a week after an agency in Florida found out we were willing to adopt African American, they called us about difficult child. There simply aren't many African Americans adopting. The thought that children shouldn't be adopted then by people who will love them just because they are of a different race makes no sense to me.
