I’ve never seen blacks adopt orphans

Cool

Black couples are an insignificant percentage of adoptive parents...rare

Whites are 80 percent at least and hispanics and orientals the rest

Sadly that family thing doesn’t always work. When my father passed my three surviving brothers and I agreed that we would each contribute to mom’s upkeep, including paying off the car (which one of my brothers would keep because mom didn’t drive). As it turned out, I wound up paying for everything. Admittedly, I was in the best financial shape of any of us (not rich, but making good money) but I would have appreciated it if any of them had contributed anything.

How do you get into being a foster parent?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh my that is a long story. The church we were going to at the time, Pastor and wife had a toddler foster son. They were going to leave the state and couldn't take the sweet boy with them, so we took out a foster license and took him..ended up adopting him and got into a life long 30 years of caring for children....

As a former foster parent and adoptive parent I've met MANY wonderful wonderful black foster and adoptive parents!

They usually are involved in churches and feel a spiritual and moral obligation like many white foster parents do!!
