I went there, and I have to tell you, I ...Heather,<br /><br />I went there, and I have to tell you, I hated it. At some point, these issues become moot. For example, the question they ask about is it racist for white parents to adopt children of color. This makes my blood boil! The FACT is that there are many, many children of color who need adopting, who are not adopted by people of color. If I am willing, if I am able, I don't give a rats you-know-what if it is racist that I gave my babies a home, or that you did either. As for the differences in love for our kids, you know, we love all of them different. Jess we have 8 years of 1:1 history with. I can see myself in her. I can see Jason in her. It's cool. It's easy and comfortable. Is it the same with some of our older child adoptions that we're still getting to know, or some of our kids who have issues? Well, they are not all easy kids. But I would still step in front of a bus for any one of them. And for the little ones that don't have issues? The love is FIERCE, like yours for your boys. No different than mine was for Jess when she was that age.<br /><br />I'm sorry if I sound so passionate (crazy) about this. Sometimes I think people on blogs like the anti-racist one spend too much time thinking/talking and not enough time DOING. Instead of "should they?" and "can one?", I think people should "ADOPT" and "LOVE"!!!<br /><br />Love, CoreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-6579637989981681772007-01-29T14:04:00.000-05:002007-01-29T14:04:00.000-05:00As a parent w/ both kids of kids, I saw that and l...As a parent w/ both kids of kids, I saw that and left a commnet... Last time I did that people jumped all over me.. I better head over there and see what is going on..<br /><br />Don't you think that all parents love all of their children a little bit the same and a little bit different? Each little person comes with different things that can make it easier or harder to love.... ...Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.com
