I know of a single woman, early 20s, with a drug problem who was allowed to adopt a white baby under six months old.
She also had orgies in her trailer park, and she didn't have a job.

How f'd up is that?

How f*ck*d up is the fact that my parents were not allowed to adobt a baby girl that had been living with them for nearly a year (since she was 2 months old), due to the fact that she was mixed (black and Vietnamese) and they were white?

My parents have been foster parents for nearly twenty years, and they've adopted twice. They absolutely hit a stone wall when they tried to do this.

Instead they moved the baby to an aunt a few hundred miles away. We haven't seen her since. They moved her THE VERY SAME DAY the decision was made. There was not even a pretense of "working her into the home" (see, I know all the terms) or whatever. It was simply done, and long-term damage to the child be damned.
