i am so grateful for this conversation, for this book, especially as i consider adoption myself.
ReplyAs a white kid, I was blessed that I didn’t grow up being taught to remove someone’s color or culture, just so I can be able to interact with them; but I sadly grew up around a lot of those same white people. My earliest friends were black, but I never had any issue recognizing that we didn’t look alike. But we had other similarities and interests, so it was pretty easy to interact with them, since that’s literally how it works, lol.
ReplyTrevor, relax with the woke and SJW stuff. Now and then it’s ok but you are overdoing it.
ReplyAs long as there is love coming from the parents there is nothing wrong with. And just go on YouTube if you don’t know how to do the child’s hair, that’s not difficult. I know I would rather be adopted by black parents then to not be adopted at all. I actually think being adopted by another race would make the children and parents very well-rounded people.
ReplyAnother “Thank You, Trevor”, another Enlightening talk. I suggest and pleaz look for and watch documented “Different Animal Species, Bonding as Companions” Filmed, Documented phenomenon? Questions? Is “it” Taught or…? Nurtue or Nature? From victim of Racially motivated prejudice, thru Year’s, Multiple times. “Stranger, Danger”?!
ReplyHonestly, if I saw Rebecca Caroll in Germany, I wouldn’t think she was black, I would assume she was north african or middle eastern.

ReplyI made a comment on Instagram marceloandmimi Instagram once. I asked where in Africa was Marcelo, the adopted kid was from. Because the American adoptive parents always and only said Africa. There are 54 countries in Africa btw. And if they kept the kid connected to his roots. And a lot of people stated coursing me and saying I was offensive and disrespectful! Isent that crazy? It just makes no sense. It was just two normal basic questions.
ReplySo children need special treatment based on their skin color ? That comes too close to the definition of racism for my comfort…
ReplyThank you for this most interesting conversation it seems like a most fascinating compilation one i must read.
ReplyYou really pushing this whole white vs black narrative huh?
ReplyMaybe she would have been better off not being taken in by a “white” family. She is very ungrateful!
ReplyI’m surprised how Trevor didn’t address the “white” family opening their home to her.
I’m biracial and equally proud of all my heritage. I would not like to be raised as one over the other because I am loved. I think to have parents that love you is better than none at all.
ReplyIf they didn’t prevent you from being who you wanted to be as an adult you’re just playing the victim.
ReplyLet me guess….she voted for Robert Byrd’s protege too????
ReplyWe didn’t adopt but my wife and I are not the same color so we got looks.
ReplyThen what about a bi-racial family? The white parent should do what? The black parent does what? They other one another?
ReplyYou should cover more about whats happening in Puerto Rico with some tourist from US
