Can you adopt three different races of children?how long do you have to wait between adoptions?

Question

My friend wants to adopt three babies,girls with about a year or two between each adoption she wants to get a black one,a hispanic,and a asian kid.All our friends say she is wierd why not just adopt all in one race but she says she wants it that way and doesn't care what people will think or how they will look at them.What is the whole adoption procedure?

Answer 1

She'll have to do a separate application and homestudy for each one, a very time-consuming process, and if she specifies that she only wants a girl of a specific race, that will certainly add to the time she'll have to wait.  But if she's willing to go through all that, of course you can adopt as many children as you want, and of any race you want.  Once she gets going on this, she may find she'd rather adopt a child with a great need for a family, of any race or s*x, rather than try to assemble a multicolored set.  I hope it works out for everyone.

Answer 2

I hope your friend is more mature than you are.

"get a black one"  ????

"a Asian kid"  ????

And, "What is the whole adoption procedure?"  Do your own research, or better yet, tell her to!!!  If she can't do that, she  certainly can't be a parent.  

Children are not fads, toys, commodities, tokens, status symbols, trinkets, or trophies.  

I have a feeling that adoption is not even an option for your friend anyway.  One has to QUALIFY to adopt.   (Thank God.)

Answer 3

she needs to think about the kids needs, not hers.  Children aren't accessories!

Answer 4

I don't think it matters what race you adopt, but how well you can care and provide for them.  I personally feel that you should stick with adopting your own race or just stick with one.  But I have to give her credit for wanting the kids no one wants.

Answer 5

I'm sure the adoption agency will be delighted to have someone adopt three at a time.  Good for her.

Answer 6

She can adopt whatever race child she wants. My neighbor has a girl who is Asian, a boy who is African American, and another boy who is Caucasian. As long as she can provide a loving, nurturing, and stable home it doesn't matter.

Answer 7

Does she want to be a parent or a collector?  Be open to whatever race, certainly...it shouldn't matter either way...but to be so specific seems odd.

Answer 8

Sure  a person can adopt any race they want too. Just think how diverse her family will be , the kids will grow up to be more accepting to differences, right from the start.
