Prejudice towards adopted children
Being Treated Differently for Adopting a Child of a Different Race

For many years, I would not consider transracial adoption. Before you jump to any conclusions, allow me to elaborate. My entire extended family has been accepting of every child who has ever come through our licensed foster home. We have fostered over 100 children from newborn to 18, of Hispanic, African American, Caucasian, and mixed heritage with a variety of issues and special needs. Therefore, the acceptance of my family did not affect my decision. I have been able to love and care for each of these children. Their race, origins, beliefs, and special needs have not prevented me from loving each of them. However, I noticed repeatedly while shopping with my children that many people treated me differently when one of those children was of a different race.
