If I misunderstood your post, I apologize. Your post sounded to me like it was condemning me because you thought I would only adopt Anglo-Saxon children. That sounded to me like you were calling me a racist, which I am not. So again, if I misunderstood your post, I apologize.

I do agree that far too many people adopt within their own race, which leaves many non-white children unadoptable. However, I can also see why some people choose to do that because they think a child should be raised within its own culture. To me, it's a child, no matter what race, and they should all have a chance at a wonderful life.

Adoption is not for everyone, and I applaud you for raising two happy, healthy, and well cared for children. If everyone would do that, we wouldn't have so many children needing to be adopted.

If you think I was looking down my nose at you, please know that is not true. I was simply responding to what I believed was an attack on my morals.

I thank you for your military service and realize the sacrifices your family must have had to make during that time.
