USA Today reports that On Wednesday, more than 100 people rallied on the steps of the Alabama State House with photos of families with children of different races, after comments by a pro-choice representative that whites will not adopt black babies.
Pro-choice Alabama Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, accused his Pro-life Republican WHITE colleagues of possibly supporting abortion if their daughters were impregnated by black men.
“Here we are,” said Beverly Owings of Wetumpka, Ala., a white woman who has adopted five children including a biracial daughter. “We do not adopt our children based on race. Our families are built on love and commitment, not race and discrimination.”
The rally was an outgrowth of a Facebook page called Faces of Families in Alabama, created April 2, that had more than 7,000 “likes” by midday Thursday.

They still don’t get it. It’s not the color of the skin, but the content of their character. There are a lot of white people running around, that I want nothing to do with either.
Family in the neighborhood have at least one adopted African American child.
Add Willie and Corie Robertson to this list.
(liberals across the land gasp)
My current pastor (white man and wife) have adopted wonderful children a bro and sis that happen to be black in skin pigment.

Well, they have lost all other arguments.
...so, calling us RACISTS© is really all they have left to work with. I guess they have to pound that out on the airwaves for a while and hope it sticks.
Doesn’t social services make inter-racial adoptions very difficult?
Just imagine, had the tens of millions of black babies who were aborted been adopted out to conservative white and mixed families, the militant black agenda would be a complete failure, and the black demographic wouldn’t be wholly owned by the Democrat plantation.
I would tell the son of a bitch that I wanted the money he promised.
That Rep is a racist scumbag, and needs to leave the Legislature. He is projecting his own hatred onto others. I applaud these fine families in Wetumptka (pronounced “Wee-tumka” by the locals) and elsewhere in Alabama for putting this racist in his place.
Our niece is adopted. She looks biracial to me but I’ve never asked. Nobody has. It’s a non-issue. She is a beautiful four-year-old girl, and we love her. Period.
They can rally but there will be NO coverage of their message of truth.
A family in my church adopted two black children. And they still get called racists because they are conservative.
If they go to the right schools those kids will call them racist too, eventually
A number of years ago, when we thought we would be unable to conceive a child of our own, we investigated adoption. At that time we were told there was a shortage of Caucasian infants but plenty of Black infants to adopt. Since we are not Black, we asked some Black friends their opinion about us adopting a Black child. They said that doing so would cause a number of social problems for the child and they recommended against it. I recoiled at this logic, that it would be better for an infant to grow up without a loving family than to have a loving family but some social problems because he was not “raised Black”. What a sad world we live in.
I have four black adopted kids. My friends adopted black infants too. No problems, but I kept them away from leftists.
Thank you for your post, somewhere, I have recently read almost exactly what you just said stated elsewhere. I can’t remember where for anything.
Now I remember, there is actually a Law and Order episode where a troubled drug addicted young African American woman gives up her child for adoption and then kidnaps the baby back from the white parents. And something like this is a part of the defense of the woman at the trial, the words you said:
“Since we are not Black, we asked some Black friends their opinion about us adopting a Black child. They said that doing so would cause a number of social problems for the child and they recommended against it.”
They either found the woman not guilty or else, the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.
If we saw hearts we’d all be the same color.
