Only one kid out of 4 has issues, apparently. Would like to hear from the other 3.
Not uncommon for some adopted children to have major mental issues. Fetal alcohol syndrome, etc.
I wonder what was going on being the scenes ...wasn’t he known for pardoning a bunch of violent offenders?
Did he owe some underworld figure a big debt, some underworld extortion going on?
I know a couple of white families that have adopted black kids and provide a loving environment. In one family in particular the kids are thriving, IMHO.
They all have baggage except for maybe Mayor Pete.
It is very rare because blacks are only 14 percent of the population, if that.
“When asked why the Bevins adopted him, Noah replied: ‘public image.’”
THAT was one of the big reasons I was anti-Amy Coney Barrett from Day One, i.e., her designer family. It was embarrassingly evident that she assembled her useful tools for public image to enhance her career.
“ I know a couple of white families that have adopted black kids and provide a loving environment. In one family in particular the kids are thriving, IMHO.”
Exactly right.
That’s the norm of how it’s done.
Adoption is a very loving and selfless thing to do.
“Cross racial adoption should be banned. ...adopting blacks is for show.”
Agree. For show to build up woke creds.
Don’t paint with such a broad brush. My cousin adopted an African child with special needs because her best friend, the child’s mother, asked her to. The mother was dying of cancer, and this was the best provision for the child that she could make. My cousin’s family embraced him wholeheartedly. He is an adult now. He is definitely a part of our extended family.
For most of us who have adopted, doing so was all about giving everything to someone in need - love, hope, safety, dreams. We were not picking out a mantle piece to show guests. It saddens me so many on this site are willing to broadly suggest such idiotic ideas and think adoption should be regulated based on melanin. I really don’t understand people anymore.
I'm personally acquainted with a very nice lady who has two of these type of kids. The girl is a real challenge but at least appreciates what she has been rescued from. The boy, not so much. The libertarian morons who say drug use is a victimless crime ought to be required to work with these type of kids to broaden their worldview a little.
Not really, my wife and I took in a 14 year old black girl and I got no public relations boost from it.
Now if you are talking about public figures, then I would agree, especially Hollyweird types.
