Adoption, trendy?

One of my favorite blog writers at, Rage Against the Mini Van, highlights some feedback on the topic of adoption, particular children of color, being trendy. I can see how the transracial family image is taking place on the US & PEOPLE's of the world. Additionally, it seems that more and more people are sending me other peoples' blogs on adoption. I ask myself, is transracial family building really 'taking off' or is it one of those since I-just-bought-a car-I-now-see-the-car-everywhere sort of situations.

Here's a video of her sweet family...


And, here's what she has to say...I love what she says, spot on. Enjoy!

In summary...my favorite point of her's is:

"I think there are such better questions to ask when it comes to transracial adoption and child welfare.  I would so much rather see people questioning why black children are overrepresented in foster care and adopting waiting lists, and how many are aging out without families, and what we as a nation can do for the thousands of waiting children who won’t be adopted by a couple dozen celebrities.  As for celebrities who’ve adopted children of color, I’m thrilled that these kids have found a family, famous or not."

Have a great day!!
