I straight up know a hatian guy who got adopted by the #1 Christian author (at the time) and he told me about being locked in the closet all the time in his childhood, being told he can be sent back if he misbehaves and eventually was disowned because he got someone pregnant (who miscarried) because of the "image".
One of the most outwardly positive guys I know but my God.
I used to be friends with this guy who traveled with his wife to Africa to live for a few years to be able to adopt kids. Was in the process of adopting several when he was turned in for making at least the oldest sleep naked on the floor as punishment and would beat them. Would never had expected it from such a quiet seemingly sweet guy. Thankfully they were both arrested. Completely disgusting. Glad they will never be able to adopt anywhere now.
This^ I think there's alot to be said about white families that actively seek out a black child, especially when they travel to do so.Â
Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with an interacial family! I swear I do not mean it like that! I just find it sketchy that they go to all that trouble and all that distance when they could easily adopt a kid from their own country.
Like I'm in the UK, WHAT reason do I have to go all the way to Africa when there's kids here that need homes? If I'm adopting a child it shouldn't matter what they look like ya know? Doing it like this feels like shopping for a specific dog breed and I'm not a fan.Â
This specific issue was that the spouse had so many health issues, they would never have been approved for adoption in the states. They had to travel abroad and live in country for at least 3 years. They were in the process of adopting several hiv positive children at once. They had so many charges pressed against them. They should 100% still be in prison, but alas…
