When we adopted our two wonderful children, we were somewhat of an anomoly. We are thrilled to see so many more families embracing transracial adoption. Every stage of our children's lives have brought us new sadnesses and new joys. The dating scene has its own challenges and meeting birthparents if full of emotionalism and drama. Yet God is with us each step of the way teaching us how to lean on Him for strength. We have two biracial children whose current ages are 21 & 17.

Our younger two children are adopted and black. Overall people are supportive of our decision but that doesn't eliminate some awkward moments. I've been talking with my parents in SC about the presidential election primary there and my father wants to speak about the problem of the "black vote" but usually stops mid-sentence for fear of offending me. I don't mind; you just learn to overlook those moments. Thanks for the post. Our younger two children are adopted and black.

I really appreciate your willingness (yea, desire!) to be open and honest about your transracial adoptions. The Lord has been increasingly drawing my heart that direction, and I'm excited to see how he sees fit to fulfill that. God bless you and your family and those who read this and think twice...
