Why did you adopt a white child?

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

My parents adopted me and they ALWAYS told me i "was special because they chose me." Ive always felt special, because "I was chosen in 1958."

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

@@skyegroome223 That's true! Four years later they adopted another little girl and her fees were $62.

[@katsmeow69]

You adopted a child who happened to be white. Why are people so narrow minded? Boosie is your son. He's been your son before he was a week old. geeze.

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

it's not about being narrow-minded. LOL it's a rare occurrence. people are curious how it happened + what lead to her choosing to adopt.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

It's amazing how many people don't understand how the foster system works!

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

that's....what they asked. they didn't ask why she decided to foster a white child, they asked why she decided to adopt him. 🤷🏾‍♀ personally, despite strong feelings, about transracial adoption, i'm actually happy she adopted him. + i'm happy for him. 🤓 i just also think it's a valid question based on statistics, knowledge about the system, + how rare of an occurrence it is. 🤷🏾‍♀

[@mermaid30019]

@@hellaSwankkyToo no ppl did ask why did they adopt a white kid

[@helenahawk7752]

Correct. People are Not asking or doing research as to why 800 thousands+ kids are missing a year😢 in America ( other countries as well could be more😢) some of the kids that do go missing are directly from the "system". People WILL learn more😢.

[@4daluvofnikki]

@@hellaSwankkyToo The question is based upon an assumption. The assumption that most people adopt only though an agency. Therefore, they go to a agency and pick a child to adopt. Meanwhile, that is not the only way people end up adopting. As in this case some children are adopted from Foster care. If the person asking knows about foster care then they asked the wrong question.

[@9thGenerationCajun]

I think it is absolutely beautiful,A kid is a kid regardless. I think it would down right evil to deny a child adoption over race. Big hugs mom you're amazing!

[@annalauryn966]

"A good ol' little white baby"❤😂 I'm so happy that his family chose you! In this world that we live in, a set of white parents could over look a black family SIMPLY because they look different (or even being raised with hate in their heart) but this family chose to put their trust in the family that was best suited to LOVE the child properly, despite looking different. They also inadvertently taught the child a very important life lesson that LOVE CAN BE ANY COLOR AND FAMILY CAN BE ANY COLOR. And that we don't discriminate because of skin color but to look at people's character and strengths before xing them off the list. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am so happy to see your family. I am so happy that you're putting this energy into the world. I believe You are helping create a better narrative for black families in America.

[@BrendaBodwin]

As the mother of children of all skin colors..3 bios, 16 adopted, I can attest.. we don't choose them. God chooses. God sends the children to the parents he chooses because it's a perfect fit. You cant fight it. Children are not a color. As parents, we stop seeing color. We just see our babies. We tend to not notice, until others point it out. He is a beautiful little boy, filled with love and joy. God chose his family very well. ❤

[@godfirst3709]

Love this. 🙏🏼💯

[@hees0009]

Agreed. I know it's weird, because I wouldn't have thought it when we've adopted, but sometimes I look in the mirror, and I'm like, oh that's right, I'm white. All my kids are various shades of brown and I just get used to that! I don't think we look strange as a family until we're in public and get noticed more, but it's all good because it gives us an opportunity to show humans are humans, not our melanin content.

[@allthatsheiz]

Woooooo 16 adopted? How did you manage? I bet a great support system

[@BrendaBodwin]

@@allthatsheiz Well, it was easy until my husband died, when the youngest was 4 and the oldest was 12. Having all boys, I was stressed with worry. I called in reinforcements. My husbands best friends, my brothers, a couple uncles, and a few men from the church, and a few men I worked with at my job. All good family men, and great examples, that I wanted my sons to grow up to be like. I also had cousins, and some older nieces and nephews that I hired to babysit when needed. It takes a village. I'm so grateful my village. ❤❤❤

I think you if ANYBODY has a child from almost birth and they've been with you that long, how could you not adopt them. It doesn't matter What color you or the child is, if they are HAPPY AND LOVED!!!!

[@kattmilk]

God bless you! I've only seen the media and Hollywood showcase White families adopting African-American children. It's great to see just the opposite can & does happen as well. Showing them genuine love, allowing them to understand & acknowledge their respective racial culture and teaching them about God is the only things that matters!

Don't let the narrow minded and toxic people get to you. The way I see it, there are thousands of parents (black, white, asian,ect) --- who treat their biological children like crap. 'Regular' families who end up not talking to each other anymore. You are doing your thing, and even if your boys skincolour may cause more issues for you and him - doesn't matter. There are always problems for everyone in this world, and you are strong enough to tackle them. Really inspiring.

That’s how my brother ended up adopted. He was a foster for almost 3 years until we adopted him. He was 2 weeks when he became a foster in our home and we had him those 3 years until we were able to adopt him. All these years later he’s 15 and a PITA 😂
