Re: does race play a bigger role in our lives than

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Last November, after a grueling adoption process—&quot;[adoption officials] pushed the envelope on every issue,&quot; says Mark—little Irish-Catholic Katie O'Dea, as pale as a communion wafer, became Katie O'Dea-Smith:<span style="font-weight: bold"> a formally adopted member of the African-American Riding-Smith family. (Phyllis is her legal guardian, but Mark and Terri were also vetted as legal surrogates for Phyllis.)</span>

To be sure, it's an unconventional arrangement. Katie spends weekdays with<span style="font-weight: bold"> Phyllis, her legal guardian. But Mark and Terri, who live around the corner, are her de facto parents, too. They help out during the week, and welcome Katie over on weekends and holidays. As for titles: Katie calls Phyllis &quot;Mommy&quot; and Terri &quot;Sister,&quot; since technically it's true. Mark has always been &quot;Daddy&quot; or &quot;Mark.&quot;</span></div></div>

I am still trying to figure out how she was formally adopted- usually dem seh parents and not language like legal guardian and legal surrogates
Phyllis is her mother and Mark is her father? yet Marks wife who is Phyllis' daughter is just sister?

From the extreme reactions that the story depicts, it does sound like there is much more to overcome in a nation that is seen to be a leader...

From the other side of the atlantic, I don't seen anything wrong with a black man (or any other black person) adopting a white child.

Yes there are a lot of black children in need out there, but the reason why most of us are evidently so bitter towards whites is because of the unfairness that is portrayed in society, and we therefore push for a better society where our race/ethnicity should not matter. Why should it matter with this little girl?

And why should it be especially significant that a black man is her adopted father? So what, even we don't trust a blackman in that capacity?

I don't understand the rationale of the arguments disagreeing to the act. The reactions here are depicting the same reactions of those people that were observed by the article...and those were white, what is the difference here?

Re: blakk dad mzungu dawtah

how funny.....

this is the norm in my town.....and not just black and white, but all racial types.

We now have 177(!) nationalities living in a city of 750 or 800.000 people.

And we have loads of people from Surinam which someone told me is the most multiculti country in the world.
One friend from there is white, black, native american, chinese, and antillian mixture. She's a stunner!

It's when you see a black person with blue eyes and chinese features, etc.

Re: blakk dad mzungu dawtah

Oh, this thread is about adoption?...........

Trust me to jump in without looking!!

Actually, I have a Jamaican girlfriend who was adopted by a white family in England. She says they saved her life (probably true.... ), she grew up in the english countryside. She says her (adopting) mum was always very fiesty about any racism, giving as good as she got

She has 1 brother, the funny thing is I met her when we were all working in a restaurant together, me, her and her brother.
People would always when she said &quot;he's my brother&quot;
&quot;No, really, he IS&quot;!!!! &quot;No, I don't mean it in the american way of &quot;brother&quot;.... &quot;His parents adopted me when I was 6 years old&quot;
Oh, right, they would then say.
LOL

Surinam? I guess not from the maroon community then. Saw a docu where one was refused to marry an Indian woman

That question hit home for the Ridings in 2003, when Terri's mother, Phyllis Smith, agreed to take in Katie, then 3, on a temporary basis. A retired social worker, Phyllis had long been giving needy children a home—and Katie was one of the hardest cases. <span style="font-weight: bold">The child of a local prostitute, her toddler tantrums were so disturbing that foster families simply refused to keep her. Twelve homes later, Katie was still being passed around.</span> Phyllis was in many ways an unlikely savior. The former president of the

chapter of the National Association of Black Social Workers, she joined her colleagues in condemning the adoption of black children by white families as &quot;cultural genocide&quot;—a position she still holds in theory, if not in practice.

I say fine if that is what you think, but why whine when others don't accept your white baby adoption?
Isn't this exactly the outcome that you advocated?
