Should adoption be color blind?

i remember reading about this on internet news and seeing stories about it on TV. many people are wondering whether the adoption process should or should not be completely color blind. while it will not be the determining factor of whether or not the family is allowed to adopt the child, some people want it to at least be taken into consideration. i know at first it doesn't sound right but if you think about it, it might make a LITTLE sense. thoughts?

 

what do you mean, you mean like a child of a race getting adopted by a differnt race?

 

If you mean that they should not report a child's appearance or ethnicity to people adopting...I'd say that they should have to report such so the parents know and can inform the kid as he/she grows older etc.

As for if you mean should anyone of any ethnicity be able to adopt anyone of another ethnicity, I believe the answer to that should be yes. As far as I know, this is possible anyway and should be just fine to do. You may though want to clarify the question a bit more so we can be sure what you are actually asking.

 

Well, I don't think it should just be drawn at random like the lottery, but I think individuals/couples who do adopt infants shouldn't care what the color is. I mean, a human is a human. Their genetic habits and talents might be different is all.

 

Oh, I personally agree with you and if I were going to adopt a kid, the color of a child's skin is not my concern at all. However, some parents do want to have a child that matches their ethnicity and also shares some appearance traits similar to them so they don't have to say 'the kid is adopted' to everyone etc. It is a personal choice so I do think people should know...of course, I don't think I would adopt a kid without actually seeing the child first to know if I felt compatible with it, so again, to me this question is somewhat confusing.
