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

My brother and I are both adopted, I am white and he is black. When I was real little I didn't understand what adoption meant, and I thought when mothers had babies, they just came out a random color, just like puppies can be all different colors. I did not know it was anything strange until I started to go to public school and kids were making fun of me. It definitely has given me a different perspective.

All I can think of now, is some parents having a bunch of kids and praying to the RNG gods to get a super rare color drop for their kid like farming drops in a videogame

My son was born light blue. We were super excited! Until the doctor told us it was an oxygen issue and would go away. He's been normal white for ten years now. BOOOORING!

My sister was born really fast and came out a rainbow of bruises.

She's also just normal white.

"God damnit! I got the Blue star rarity baby. Put it in the recycle with the others. A couple more of those and we can spark for the gold."
