Should a Caucasian family be allowed to adopt a black boy/girl?

You do so at your own risk.

A child needs one thing and one thing only ----LOVE------- It is perhaps better that a black child is adopted by a black family and a white child by a white family for no other reason than they look pretty well the same. What is most important is that the child is loved for being a child and then loved for being itself without reservation.

Sadly the black to black and white to white has all to often been used as an irrevocable rule o the detriment of mainly black children who have remained in foster care when they could have been interrogated into a loving family.

The problem is that there are not enough black families volunteering to adopt and so there is no option but to place black children with white families. I don't actually see this as wrong, as its better for the child to have a stable family life than be brought up in a childrens home.

If you really want to stir up a fuss place a white child with a black family and listen to the outcry from the Daily Mail readers

We had all this in the 60s & 70s when it was difficult to get get black people to adopt, I recall one harrowing scene when a young black girl was forceably moved from a while family where she remained in care for 3 years cos no one could control her, at 16 she went back to her white family and had a lot of choice words to say about being removed...

Sorry I must be from the future because nobody should care, and where I'm from nobody does, who freaking gives a rats ***, so what, they can very well teach black history and even if they don't who gives a ****, when I was little we didn't just learn about ******* white people we learned about white black Mexican it doesn't matter asian Indian we learned them all, this isn't an issue it's minor differences and different skin color, why would you care or anyone care. Sick of this ****. So yeah of course whit people should be able to adopt black children, rascist fool

It shouldn't mater what race you are. A family is a family no matter what race. The child can still learn about his/her history but they also take part in another culture. It should only matter that the child has a loving family that takes care of them.

As an adopted child I can tell you this:

If it comes between me not being adopted and having no family or home, or being adopted and having a family and home with different race parents, I pick being adopted, having a family and a home.

I'm native American adopted by caucasians. My adopted sister is caucasian as well.

The primary reason for placing children with racially similar parents is for the child's sense of acceptance and belonging in their family and community, however having caring parents is ultimately the more important issue.

Sure, I don't see any harm in it. If you were a orphan would care if the parents that adopted you were black?

Every child needs a parent. So yes. We are a melting pot here in Califonia and it seems to be working pretty good.

Yes I think they should be able to. If they are able to provide a loving home then that's the most important thing.
