It is a great idea to make that a requirement of the adoption.<br /><br />Favor, education and exposing the child to their own culture is equally important. It provides the child with a chance to know their background. In the memoir, Color Blind, Precious is exposed to her own culture and gets a chance to meet her biological family in Africa. I won't spoil Nanny's reaction or what happened after her visit to Africa. It's good to hear that your family has opened your hearts and homes to an adopted member of your family.<br /><br />Jamerican, I am not in a position to adopt a child right now either. Thank goodness for those that are!<br /><br />Ms. Spinks, it is definitely something to think about. Reading this memoir sparked a lot of emotions and thoughts about parenting, the definition of a mother, and our culture.<br /><br />Ms. Publisher, I agree that love has no color. What matters is the adoptive parents are knowledgeable about the child's culture so they can properly educate him/her and answer questions or issues that may come up.<br /><br />Great comments everyone!Literary Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245180773168090487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190308416021410146.post-39515764484804642332010-07-21T19:44:56.884-04:002010-07-21T19:44:56.884-04:00I strongly believe White parents who are willing t...I strongly believe White parents who are willing to adopt Black children should learn african american culture as part of the criteria in the adoption stage. <br />As a sidenote, Please learn how to groom their hair.Gabbys50noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190308416021410146.post-84226216166392661922010-07-21T00:28:55.731-04:002010-07-21T00:28:55.731-04:00White parents raising Black children is perfectly ...White parents raising Black children is perfectly fine to me. It is wonderful when people look pass skin color and race to open their home and hearts to a child in need. I do believe that they have a responsibility to educate them and expose them to their own culture as much as possible. I have an Aunt who just recently adopted a white child. She'd been living with her under foster care for about 3 years and definitely has become a permanent family member who we love and care for.favorisntfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270764312136820549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190308416021410146.post-15592808398038315732010-07-19T22:53:36.499-04:002010-07-19T22:53:36.499-04:00I'm not in a position to adopt a child right n...I'm not in a position to adopt a child right now. Maybe in the future I would consider it.

I think kids have enough to worry about in this tough world and then add not being able to connect to the parents culturally.

However, I do believe that love has no color and if that parent can properly care for and love that child, I'm all for it.
