Adoption? another?

Question

my baby would be bi-racial do alot of people adopt bi-racial baby's?

Answer 1

Yes, bi-racial children are adopted! You may even be able to find a bi-racial couple to parent your child if that is the path you decide to take.

Answer 2

Yes, a lot of people do adopt biracial children. BUT there are some things as a birthmother that you need to be aware of if you are going to be involved in selecting the adoptive parent(s). First, some adoptive parents select biracial children as a second choice to a Caucasian child (the latter type of adoption being more expensive, taking much longer, and sometimes never happening). As a result, they don't acknowledge the child's biracial status. It is unfortuante in the U.S. there is still some influence of the "one drop rule" where one drop of African blood makes you African American. I say this because your child will encounter racism. So the child needs to be prepared for this in a number of ways.  If an adoptive parents says "race doesn't matter", it's because they are Caucasian. All people of color know race does matter. Find adoptive parents who know this. Good luck!

Answer 3

We know several families of mixed races.  All children need a loving home.  I would not let race be a factor in whether or not to adopt.  

I heard someone say once that everyone has the same color heart.  I think that's a beautiful way to look at the world.

Answer 4

bi-racial babies are cheapter than white babies, some people don't care, others do. I am bi-racial and was adopted by all white parents. My aparents never acknowledged my other races, I "felt" white until I found my first family and my nmom isn't even white at all. I didn't even know she wasn't. I lost an entire culture, heritage and history that I'm trying to pick the pieces up with now, but its hard, really hard.

Answer 5

Absolutely yes.  As a matter of fact, bi-racial babies are often very beautiful - the best of two cultures!  I'm trying to adopt a baby  - but only if the birth mom (that would be you) agrees to stay in touch with the child every once in awhile.  I don't want any child to ever feel it was given up because it was not loved.  An open adoption lets the child know who is the birth mommy and who is the mommy who adopted the child.  Two mommies  mean 2 times more love!  Keep us posted on your decision!

Answer 6

Many families do adopt biracial children. It's not as hard to place a biracial child as it used to be.

There are many families, of different races, who would be delighted to adopt a baby, whatever the race of the child.

So don't let the fear that you wouldn't find an adoptive family stop you. Just think about whether you really want to place this child for adoption. That's the most crucial question.

Answer 7

With us we don't care about a child's color it shouldn't matter what color the child is. Me and my husband would never care about that. And it shouldn't matter. When God created us he didn't care what color we were so why should we care about the color of the skin we are all the same so skin color should not matter when it comes to whether or not to adopt a child. Me and my husband have been talking about adopting and never once did the skin color ever get brought up because we don't think of children that way.

Answer 8

Yes, we adopted one and I dont see a problem with it at all as long as you love and bond with a child and give it a loving home, that is all that matters.

Answer 9

I have a seventeen year old adopted child that "looks like me"...my second son, who has just turned 21 months old...is bi-racial.  People assume he is the adopted one!!!  

We live in Southern Cal....there are bi-racial children everywhere....thank god!!!!!
