Hi all, for those not familiar with the 101 it's the USA system for the basic starter class and means 'introductory something'. I believe it means with no prerequisites.
So we are a white family and I am wondering how good we would be as adopters of a child who is mixed heritage or of a different ethnicity.
I know some people will hold very strong views either way and I would love to hear any thoughts.
I have no particular child in mind at all. I am just wondering about this as a thought.
On a positive note I have travelled widely in Asia and been in situations where I was the only 'westerner' so have the very tiniest of understandings about being in a minority for a very small time!
I would love links to any useful, helpful articles or other mumsnet threads and any wise words from anyone who is a transracial adopter.
Many thanks.
