Last month on the ACFB blog, we discussed the importance of acknowledging race and ethnicity in adoption. If you missed it, check out the post here. We shared how it is crucial for parents in transracial adoptions to create an inclusive, supportive environment for their child to grow up in. This goes far beyond simply having books and toys that represent the child’s background. Parents must be willing to put in the work to educate themselves and the people around them about what it is like for child to grow up in a family that does not look like them.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us! We understand that this is a difficult decision and that you are giving tremendous thought to your next steps. Although this is the first time we are adopting, we have friends and family who have adopted – or were adopted – and have learned so much from their experiences. We are grateful to be considered and we’re so excited for this journey.
Every January we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, honoring the achievements Dr. King made as a leader of the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King’s legacy inspires us to continue working towards diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. His important work has impacted so many areas, including adoption.
