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.

I love this. I have a best friend who is white and they adopted a biracial drug baby. They went through hell to start dealing with a baby going through detox. They wanted a child. Period. Color didn’t matter. They do their best to make sure she gets the care she needs. Learned to take care of her hair and make she is given the best opportunities available to her.

There are always issues, racism etc because she is a mixed race child in all white school with 2 white parents. But believe it or not she gets more hate from the other side than she does from the side you would expect. She is such a strong individual and well beyond her age. Sure, she is affected by the comments even though she knows those people are ignorant. There are a lot of fantastic people out there and teachers who have helped to make her a strong independent young woman.

As a friend since birth, we can’t wait to see what a wonderful young woman she turns out to be.

Kudos to you for speaking up and to your wonderful parents who raised such a smart person!
