The problem is not that these kids are unwanted. The problem is the cost of adoption. Lawyers are allowed to charge such high fees. We are hopeful, but since our budget is not $40-50,000. we may still have quite a wait for our child to come home. My husband and I have been trying to adopt a baby for almost 2 years.

I never will understand the thinking that skin color matters. the children are beautiful of course as all are. i think it is wonderful that more people are adopting period. race doesn’t matter. only ignorant people still believe so. when we adopted 10 years ago child of different race it was accepted by some, not others.

Especially when you hear of SO MANY families here going to China, etc to adopt. Why dont we adopt from our own country? There are so many beautiful kids out there needing a home what race they are should never matter. I agree there is no 'pure race' and thank God for that. It's the different things about us and our heritage that make us truly individuals. Kudo's to the Jackman family and maybe more awareness to adoptive parents out there looking. There is beautiful babies here in our own country that need loving homes. I am shocked to think that Australian couples are coming here to adopt mixed and black children.

I am biracial. I am Ethiopian and Native American. I am beautiful because my parents are beautiful. I was never confused about who I am even though people always seemed to enjoy guessing what race I am or where I am from. You are adding to the ridiculous stereotypes out there. The bottomline is that all children need love and god bless anyone out there who is trying to make a difference in a child's life. They are after all our future.

Yes that comment about mixed children is a bit much, but now you're sounding just as ignorant as the person who posted the comment. why let someone get you so fired up so you can rant your opinion, how are you any better? In fact, it makes you worse. Geeze, unbelievable.... wow, i never bother to do these but i just had to comment to your comment. take a chill pill.

I have 2 issues with your statement the first is about the words "pure bred" What does that even mean? I consider myself black but my grandfather was half Blackfoot and my grandmother's parents were part Cherokee and Irish and that's just my mom's side. There is no such thing as a pure bred person in America, that only works for dogs and cats where the "breeding" is controlled. While I'm sure every parent feels their child is the most beautiful one in the world (and I know I do) BUT I think the comment you made was pushing it. My daughter is almost 13 and reading on a level of a college sophomore, she plays two instruments, and aside from being pretty she's a good person with good sense. Is she any less beautiful or talented because her father both and I identify as black? Would your answer change if I told you that she looked white and had blue eyes until she was 2 and green/hazel eyes until she turned 5? Is she less special than her half sister who's mother is biracial? And if not then where do we draw the line, what's the cut off for being mixed race, how many generations do we go back before the ugliness and lack of talent kicks in? I've been in the school system since I graduated high school and I can tell you aside from sounding ignorant your statement is just plain false. I've seen mixed race children who got by on their looks with no real intelligence or talent to back it up and I've also see very tragic faces (my nice way of saying they weren't cute) on mixed race children. I'm not generalizing and saying all please don't misunderstand but to claim that a child is superior to another based on something as frivolous as ethnicity makes me wonder where your brown paper bag is and how you'd feel about bringing back that standard of judgment. Um What?
