| When you adopt a child from another country, whether that child is of another race or not, the family dynamic is changed forever. Your family becomes a trans-racial and/or trans-cultural family forever. Adoptive parents need to keep that in mind when making the decision to adopt internationally and when choosing the country from which they are adopting. Each parent needs to think about their thoughts and ideas on race and culture, and perhaps their misconceptions and even racial and cultural stereotypes. Begin the steps of becoming an adoptive family. |
