i don't think it should matter, love is instinct but hate is learned, do we really want kids to grow up thinking that segregation is right? If we want to change the way the world is we're gonna have to all grind our teeth and stick with instinct.  |

The only issue I have with a child of another race being adopted into another family is that child losing their heritage..IF the adopting family will make it a point to teach that child their heritage, love and cherish that child, and protect it from all possible ridicule, then I see no problem with it..Where there is love, there is NO colour.  |

Love sees no color...Not in my eyes anyway. When and if we are blessed with children they will be mixed and know that color does not matter. That is very important to me.  |

Depends on the environment that child is being raised in.  |

no.. aloving parent is a loving parent and a good home is a good home... the only time when i think it would present an issue is in places where race IS AN ISSUE... like you wouldn't throw a white child into an area where they hate white people and same with the other way around  |

Should it matter? No. Does it matter? Unfortuanately I believe so. In some parts of this world, such as where I live, a white couple with a black adopted child would not have it easy, because of the southern racism that goes on where I live. Not to mention, the black child would either be made fun of in the dominately black public schools for having "Crackers" for parents or he would be made fun of in the white private schools for being a "N*****". I know it probably isn't like this everywhere, but unfortunately, I believe it would be an issue here.  |

I dont think it should matter. Lots of kid are going with out love because society usually does not let them be adopted unless the *color* is right. Thats hog wash, ,the kids are going with out love because of other peoples hang ups.  |

i don't think it matters as long as the person has love for the child. that is what is really important. if the child needs a home and the parents have the love...that is what matters to me.  |

I think its fine. People are stupid and want to say that black people should stay with black people and whites with whites, Asians w/ Asians etc. There are lots of people who say that "God wants us to stay with our own races", but infact there's plenty of evidence to suggest that God doesn't care about race, just getting the Gospel spread. I didn't mean to go into a religious thing, but it ticks me off when people say that! I want to adopt a Chinese girl and a boy from Africa! I don't care what other's think. As long as the children are loved, who cares!  |

Yup. I don't think it should matter but like Pyro said, it does. People should be happy that children are being adopted and cared for. But racism and prejudice is a bad disease these days. |
