Nobody can be forced to adopt a child they don't want, and there is no law against a prospective parent rejecting a child based on race. A private adoption agency is not and never has been forced to take over responsibility for any baby that it can't find an adoptive home for. This woman doesn't claim that the agency didn't offer to refer her to a state or private institution which would place her baby in institutional care, and there is nothing improbable about her claim that she was told they couldn't place a biracial baby in an adoptive home.
You are intentionally missing the point.
An agency is not allowed to refuse its services to prospective clients on the basis of race. Period.
An employment agency may not think that it has a good chance of placing a black candidate among the firms it recruits for, but it is not allowed to say: "Sorry, we're not going to market your resume to our clients because you're black."
I can't believe that you truly don't understand my obvious point.
This woman doesn't claim that the agency didn't offer to refer her to a state or private institution which would place her baby in institutional care, and there is nothing improbable about her claim that she was told they couldn't place a biracial baby in an adoptive home.
Apparently you're reading an article that exists on some other planet and which FReepers don't have access to. The article states, and I quote:
"an adoption agency informed her that they would not accept a bi-racial baby, since the father of the child was black."
They didn't say anything about placement, according to her tale. She's claiming that they flat out refused to accept the baby on purely racial grounds. Which was illegal at that time.
She is a liar and you are contorting reason and common sense to defend this murderess.
