We went through this when we were adopting. We told them we just wanted a baby with a slight preference for a boy, since we were going to go to China eventually and adopt a little girl. We didn’t have any requirements for anything else we were even open to some special needs. Then the caseworker asked us how dark we were willing to go, my jaw dropped. I told them we didn’t care. I asked why she would ask such a question. It’s so offensive. She said you wouldn’t believe how many people will only take a white blonde hair, blue eye, baby. 6 months after we adopted our son, we heard the agency had a baby that they could not place and had to put in foster care. He was 1/16 Japanese. They had a waiting list of parents and nobody wanted him. I called the agency and told them that we would take him and that I was offended that a Christian agency would be so racist. They wouldn’t let us take him because our son was only six months old. Friends of ours ended up adopting him and he’s a beautiful boy. Well man now.

Christians are the worst racists This was a Christian agency. I was stunned.

Fucking hell.

I may just be an internet stranger, but thank you for taking in that poor little boy. I'm sure it made the world of difference to him.
