My cousins daughter adopted a black infant girl
Her biological mother left her at the hospital shortly after she gave birth to her. At the orphanage my angel of a cousin adopted her. The child has lucked out. My cousins daughter is a whiz kid with good teaching credentials.
I often wonder how this child feels. She's ten now and all of her life she has been surrounded by a sea of blue eyed snow what faces. She is being home schooled and this pretty much means her education is ensured. She has everything a child would want except her identity.
She's black and all of us are white.
Oh the horror.... Being around white people who care and love this girl and are giving her every opportunity to succeed in life - and your thoughts go to 'sea of blue eyes and snow' .. **!
If all you see is the child's skin, then I feel sorry for you. He is being raised in loving family. Instead of seeing this child as black, see her as family member.
The child is a girl. We love her and the sea of white faces she sees love her. She is aware of how much we love her and the only thing I see shes missing out on is black heritage. Good home, great food, great clothes and an adoring mother who is determined to see she gets the best things life has to offer. We cannot offer her the black heritage. She can learn that on her own.
I see the childs skin, I see her sweet smile, I love her even though she is not that related to me. I love her mother and since she adores this child I feel compelled to love her too.
I was raised in an all white family in a mostly white neighborhood. I am 25M and doing well.
