But I love being a transracial family and we are so blessed..You are so right about racism taking on a whole new painful reality. Still, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. We are in the process of moving back to the USA and the thought of journeying again through adoption is very real, even at the age of 46! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I enjoyed the read.

I live in a small, rural town and have a desire to adopt children who aren't white and American. After recent conversations with co-workers, I actually started to think all of the work dealing with my community wouldn't be worth the effort. It is hard to be 'different' in my town, maybe even in my church. (I am not sure though, because we don't have many 'different' people.) Needless to say, I am really looking forward to your post on Friday. Jennifer I am glad you are sharing what a real life looks like when it includes a mix of races and ethnicities.
