I agree with Jennifer, and applaud Hugh for making the choice to adopt multi-ethnic children. The reality is that it is much more difficult to find a stable loving family to adopt you if you are a non white baby. These children sit around getting passed by, and get older. The older a child is also affects the likelyhood of them being selected.

It’s hard enough trying to make in this world being black or “other” without compounding it with the insecurity of feeling unwanted your whole life because you were never adopted, and bounced from foster home to foster home.

I am a multi-ethnic (black, Italian, Cherokee) woman trying to make it in the entertainment industry (acting and directing) which is a daunting task in itself. I couldn’t imagine that I would have the wherewith all to even be in this industry if I was fighting the demons of having grown up as a “system” kid. I am so glad my mother decided not to give me up.

I just read on another web site that he and his wife took the boy to have his hair straighted…what’s up with that? I think the boy is very cute with his curls. This could be the beginning of the boy not feeling really part of this family…is this an identity crisis in the making? I hope Hugh and his wife help this boy in loving who and what he is. Most of America’s African American population is of mixed race so…why is it that people don’t get it? Ever noticed the vast rainbow hue that is the African American people? I don’t know why Hugh and his wife felt complelle to adopt these children, I can only hope it was for the right reasons…but first do no harm.

You are absolutely right, Jennifer. At least someone is talking sense here. What’s the big deal about adopting a bi-racial child? Why does people take offense in that? Does it make you a better person than Hugh Jackman to say these nasty words about his actions and words? Is it not good enough that someone gave these two kids a name, a home and a family and some love that they couldn’t have experienced had not jack and his wife adopted them??? That’s the problem with our world today. You can not just do a simple good deed and get away with it. Other people would always try and question your intentions, no matter how noble they are. Why complicate a simple and noble act and intention? Let us just be happy for these couple and these kids.

I was thinking the same as one of the posters. I thought his children were aboriginy seeing that he is from Australia…Haha!!What he said is absolutely right though, there isn’t very many Caucasian children needing to be adopted, not to mention you would have a lengthy wait. With that said, either way if there is a child in need of a home it shouldn’t matter what ethnicity they are. Open up your home & give any child a family.

I definitely agree with Jennifer’s comment. The act of adopting a child, regardless of race, is something that should certainly be commended. Come on, do you guys really think that someone would adopt a child for the sole reason of satisfying their image?! That accusation is ludicrous!!

My daughter and son-in-law are adopting a mixed-race child. They had had a miscarriage and fertility treatments did not work. They had been foster parents for 2 years, and the boy was put back with his mother. (He was also bi-racial, and our whole family loves him like he’s ours and still stay in contact with him.)

When applying for adoption, they did not request a certain color of child. The one who became available is biracial, beautiful, and our grandchild as much as if she had my daughter’s eyes and my son-in-law’s chin. I cannot imagine why the race (of someone ELSE’S adopted child) should upset anyone.

There is a long waiting list for white newborns. Meanwhile, non-white babies and older children of any race are waiting for homes. My daughter and son-in-law had room in their home and in their hearts for any child who needed them. And they knew that both their families did too.
