| Cheryl | Posted: Mar 20, 2005 11:53:06 PM hi My name is Cheryl. I am 22and are expecting a baby in nov/05 ish. My baby is also mix baby caucasian and african-american. I am not 100% if I want to give this baby up or not. My mom and dad think it would be the best thing for me. And the dad is totally agaist it. He would raither me get rid of it than put it up for adoption. Me I just want what is best for my baby. right now i am about 6weeks pregant. I know I have lots of time to decite and it might take me 9months to deside that adoption is the right thing to do for the both of us. The kind of family that I am looking for is a christain family with good moral values, a family that you can bring anything to nomatter how big or small it may be and to know that they can trust you. and I have so much more left to say. So if this is your family plaes e-mail @ rugbygodess_o5@hotmail.com I would love to hear from you. thanks | ||
| Esperanza | Posted: Nov 17, 2004 10:38:45 PM Hi Miranda, We are also a mix couple I am Hispanic and my husband is Caucasian. We have a birth child (7 years old) that is bilingual. There is nothing we want more than to have another child. He/she will receive unconditional love and will be an enriching member of our family for the rest of our lives. If possible we would like to do an open adoption. Although this may be at times uncomfortable (for both sides) we believe that it will benefit our new child and the birthparents immensely. We would love to have the opportunity to talk to you. | ||
| Felicia | Posted: Nov 12, 2004 09:20:55 PM I'm an adoptive mom os three two of theem are afro-american one is puerto rican I have a foster child that is mixed. Most moms that open their doors open their hearts first and race is more times not of no issue when it comes to loven what could be there child. Be sure the child heritage will be nurished. I wish you the best In your search I'll pray for you and your child. | ||

| Diane | Posted: Oct 19, 2004 02:50:14 PM Hi Miranda. Most adoption agencies should be able to assist you in finding a couple that is interested in a bi-racial or mixed race child. Once you've identified potential families, you should ask specific questions about their plans and how they would include both you and your heritage in the raising of your child. If you are still looking for an adoptive family, my husband and I would be very happy to let you review our home study and family profile. Good Luck and God Bless. | ||
| Mickey | Posted: Oct 13, 2004 10:01:26 PM Absolutely. To my husband and I, a human is a human is a human. We're actually more interested in adopting non-Caucasian babies, and we're both Caucasian (with a splash of Native American thrown in). Good luck! :D | ||
| Laurie | Posted: Aug 20, 2004 08:11:51 PM My husband and I are looking to adopt a child of mixed heritage. I also know a lot of individuals who are also looking for a child of mixed heritage. Call you local adoption agency and they may be able to help you. | ||

| Terri | Posted: Jun 14, 2004 10:58:43 PM Hi Miranda! My husband and I are both caucasian, but we would have no problem opening our hearts to a caucasian/hispanic child. Best of luck! Terri | ||
| Ilene | Posted: Jun 14, 2004 06:28:16 PM Hi Miranda, have you asked your birth mother counselor to show you profiles where the adoptive family says that they will take a child of any race? We know quite a few couples in our church who have adopted children who were not caucasion and yet they (the couple) were caucasion. I also have some relatives who adopted children of mixed races. Those children are all doing great. I think if you could ask any of those children they would tell you that what is most important is that their parents love them unconditionally. My husband and I are waiting for a birth mother to pick us and we stated in our paperwork that we would be more than willing to adopt a child of any race. I would think that there are many couples, besides my husband and I, who would be happy to adopt a child of any race (mixed or not). I hope this note gives you encouragement and peace that you will find the right family to adopt your child. | ||
| Miranda | Posted: Jun 12, 2004 03:35:54 PM My main concern would be to find a couple that is loving enough to accept a child who is Caucasian and Hispanic,there are so many Caucasian couples on the site which is great, however would they be willing or acceptive enough to bring this child into theit family? | ||
