"I am writing a research proposal on why black boys linger in the foster care system. I need two hypothesis?

What i have so far is that more black children are adopted overseas than in the United States. There are not enough qualified black adoptive parents in the US. The NABSW's stand on black adoptions by whites has reduced the amount of black adoptions by whites. Some white parents are afraid of the problems that they will face when the kids become teenagers. Other parents prefer to adopt from their own race. I have to test two hypothesis and I can't think of even one at this time.

    Well you just stated a hypothesis you could test. Peoples fears about what will happen when a specific race and gender become teens in a country that is very racially polarized.

    Or how about perceptions vs. reality. Do people shy away from specific races and genders because of how media portrays them? How accurate are the portrayals?

    Do the countries that adopt black children from the US have less racial problems than the US?

    You also stated something else that could be your hypothesis: Blacks are not qualified OR, does peoples perception about race deem someone unqualified?
