Ouuu this is a really good question. It depends on whether I'm adopting as a single mom or if I have a partner whose opinion I have to bear in mind, but I don't think I'd really care. I'd probably lean towards brown skin tones and up just so there's a slight resemblance. This isn't because black kids aren't worth adopting, but they'd get way too much unwanted attention from strangers looking at how different we look that would constantly remind them they're adopted which I don't think would be all great for them as kids.

Nope. Not at all.

Never thought about it. but i wonder what people will think, if they see a black person with an adopted white ,or asian kid.

If I got hit in the head really hard one day and decided I wanted a kid, I think I would prefer a kid who is the same race. It would be easier on both of us and depending on how old the kid is and how they were raised before there might be some cultural differences if they were a different race and they might have a harder time feeling like they belong with me or whatever

I had this conversation with the last white girl I was serious with, a cancer survivor who had a hysterectomy... She was one of those people, quite intent on a biracial child if we had adopted... It's not as important to me BUT as a practical matter I know I'm getting the Damm cops called on me the second my black ass is seen leaving the park with a little blonde 4 year old... Oh and the age thing I get... The idea of molding a little one into your image is more compelling to most people than having a 14 year old almost your size stroll in one day like 'sup?'

no, Gender may, i'd probably adopt a boy. I can raise a boy, girls scare me.

I'm far too unqualified to answer this question. I'd have assumed its about connection but honestly I've never thought about adoption (or having kids just yet).

Race would not play a factor. Age might though.

I only adopt 2.4 year old children that are half mongolian and half sudanese

I'm most likely to adopt a child that looks like me, because I feel like I'm responsible for raising them to understand the nuances of their identity. I'm not sure I could do that as well if I adopted a black child, for example, but I'd obviously till try. just feels like it is a delicate thing that is easy to mess up. I don't want to erase that part of them but it'd be a difficult thing knowing I'm not the best person for that responsibility

I'm not sure race would be something of a priority but I would think about me and the child as a combo and how that would fit. I suspect I would chose preferrably a child with a bit of character similarity. Probably that will give rise to the problems I would like to avoid. So not sure what to do.

It probably does. For that reason alone, I'd probably go for a white kid. The age thing is interesting - not that many babies are put up for adoption or so I've heard.

Personally, I'd prefer at least a toddler anyway. The newborn stage is difficult difficult lemon difficult.

well of course age is an important factor, as is the back history of the orphan.
as a huw*te cis het male I haven't much thought about race and ethnicity.
being a boring normie human like me makes it hard to identify myself with what can categorize people apart on a superficial level, and through that categorize others.

most important question is, is the child a bratty lil shit?
