Executive Summary: to fight racism we must prohibit white parents from adopting black children.

Black children are removed from their homes at a higher rate than white children,” Riley writes.

I don't suppose the author took the time to research why that is... like an absent father, and a fourteen year old mother who is a crack addict? Who already has another child too.

The US adoption process is already hard enough that many people adopt overseas children, even if they are teenagers by the time they finally get off their container ship in Long Beach.

...“long journey toward becoming an anti-racist organization”—a journey that would require Bethany to consider race...

Translation: "In order to become anti-racist, we have to become racist."

I heard something like this many years ago. A white family was refused adoption of a black child. The argument was it would “rob the child of his blackness”.

I wonder what became of that kid.

Nobody cares about the children.

I remember when a family member was considering adopting a child from a Latin American country and had started working with an agency on this. Suddenly the country (leftwing, of course) decided to announce that Americans were kidnapping “their children,” who of course were all busy starving and dying in horrible state orphanages until Americans had started kidnapping them. So they shut down the adoption procedure and Americans were not allowed to adopt.

Kids? Who cares about them?

1. Why does the author capitalize Black but not white? This is absurd and really starting to get on my nerves.

2. So, in the name of protecting black children, we are going to deny them the chance to live in a stable, loving home?

3. And if black children are being taken out of their original homes more than white children, sorry but we really know the reason. Their dads have long since skipped town and their mothers are in jail or living in a crack den. At some point, Grandma just can’t handle it anymore.

In the middle nineties a liberal neighbor mentioned he and his wife (both White) were considering adopting and had extended consideration to a black child.

He continued that the County Officials involved were obviously trying to steer them away from a black child.

I told him to tell the County Bureaucrats that both he and his wife would learn Ebonics, because I knew that would give him the best information available to evaluate the Bureaucrats he was dealing with.

He eventually figured it out.

Please adopt the children if only to enhance their self respect.

Has anyone looked into how many blacks want to adopt black children? Crickets.
