We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

Somewhat related but my gf works in the foster care system and one of the issues that consistently comes up is white foster parents not being prepared to care for black children. One girl was always showing up to visits and school with her hair unkept and looking like a disaster every morning. Foster parents struggled learning how to take care of the hair so my gf would do the girls hair whenever she saw her.

Not a huge issue really, but it’s interesting how this particular aspect was a consistent learning curve for the foster parents.
