| Tracey Wilson | Posted: Jun 08, 2005 01:06:09 AM Alexis hello my name is Tracey and I just wanted to say stay strong and keep your head up. My husband (Nathan) and I are soon to be looking into adoption and we are both white and we both want to adopt a bi-racial baby. We already have a daughter of our own and to be able to share another life and culture with her would be a joy.So you see with open hearts and minds you and your baby have nothing to worry about. There are good people wanting babies no matter the color. Good Luck!! If you ever need to chat feel free to email me. tracey_w_03@yahoo.com | ||
| Cindy | Posted: Apr 11, 2005 05:56:28 AM Your baby will find a home. My inlaws adopted 4 siblings that are bi-racial, and they are accepted just fine and this was just 3 years ago. Don't worry..it's okay. | ||
| Kevin | Posted: Oct 22, 2004 02:38:39 PM that is obserd. The child's race is an irrelavant issue this day in age. My wife and I are now starting to look into adoption and we are of different racial backgrounds. I would be pround to give your child a home, and so would any other descent human being looking into adoption. Kevin | ||
| Robin | Posted: Sep 06, 2004 12:32:37 AM Please don't think someone won't want to adopt your baby. We have been praying for a biracial baby and we don't want any other race. There are many people like ourselves so don't feel like your baby will not be wanted. The gift of your child will make some family extremely happy. Robin | ||
| Jodi | Posted: Aug 04, 2004 08:30:12 PM Hi Alexis, I was browsing on this site and saw your post. Try not to listen to people who give you negative feedback about your child being wanted. Bi-racial children are beautiful! Sadly, the reality is that there is a large portion of society that does not understand bi-racial relationships, children, or their need to feel very proud of BOTH of their cultural backgrounds! As I'm sure you've seen, many people are still stuck in racist thinking. But many people who want to adopt a child are very open to the idea of welcoming ANY child into their lives. I recently lost my baby daughter (I was 7 months pregnant). I am a single 34 year old woman and I planned the pregnancy (donor insemination) which again, many people do not understand. I chose a mixed race donor. If I were to adopt, I would PREFER a bi-racial child! Keep your head up, Alexis. You will KNOW when you have found the right people to adopt your child. I will send good thoughts out to you. My email is jbee70@aol.com if you would like to let me know how you are doing! Be strong, you will get through this. There is always a purpose in everything in life. Take care of youself! | ||
| wendy | Posted: Jul 15, 2004 08:42:34 PM You should have no fear we have a very beautiful mixed race daughter adopted in 1999. I am white and my husband is hispanic our daughter is our heart. e-mail me is you want to talk. ababytolove@msn.com | ||
| Kirsten | Posted: Jul 03, 2004 09:41:17 PM Oh, someone will LOVE to adopt your baby. We adopted our hispanic/caucasian son two years ago and HE IS THE JOY OF OUR LIFE and so beautiful with his olive skin, chestnut hair and eyes. I'm a Spanish teacher so I love teaching him Spanish and appreciation for Hispanic culture. | ||
| Larisa | Posted: Jun 25, 2004 10:23:53 PM Dear Alexis, Yes, there are many families waiting to adopt a bi-racial baby!! My husband and I are the proud parents of 2 adopted, bi-racial children. Good luck in your search and may God help you find the perfect family for your child, | ||
| Ilene | Posted: Jun 21, 2004 10:03:52 PM Hi Alexis, I can't imagine why your parents would say that giving your bi-racial child up for adoption would spell doom for the child. I personally know of several couples who have adopted bi-racial children and not a one of those children are suffering. In face they are all doing quite well. One in particular comes to mind. One of my older cousins adopted a bi-racial child about 21 years ago. My cousin and his wife (both white) chose to adopt her because the birth mom's father wouldn't accept a bi-racial child in his home. I know for a fact there are couples out there willing to adopt bi-racial babies. My husband and I are one of those couples. Children are a blessing from God and it certainly does not matter what there race is. Please write back if you want to talk more. Sincerly Marlin and Ilene | ||
| Alexis | Posted: Jun 19, 2004 03:20:37 PM My parents keep telling me that i'm putting my baby through the wost type of doom. I just need to have some hope that the world has changed. I just need a positive voice. | ||
