My family has been build through adoption, not international, but multi-racial and multi-cultural. I think your heart is in the right place but it's definitely something that you have to consider for long-term. I adopted from within the United States as my feelings have always been that there are children right here in this country who need us, they just don't make the news. That said, my girls have both been raised in predominantly white communities and done very well.....both have been on the honor roll, involved in things, etc. I've run into my share of people wanting to tell me how "lucky" the girls are to have me.....to which I've always replied - and believe with all my heart....."they're not half as lucky as I am to have them!"

Me and my girls.....
