at they have a human right to know their heritage. They are demanding more openness in adoptions and search for their birth parents. “Children placed with families of the same culture and race suffer great loss issues due to their separation from their biological families. Children placed interracially suffer a double loss because they have lost their cultural and racial connections as well (Neal, 1993). I personally feel that a child is a child, no matter what race they are. Either way the adopting family will care and love that child through thick and thin. If they wouldn’t then they shouldn’t be looking to adopt. I don’t see why there is such a huge debate about interracial adoptions. I understand everything about culture and heritage, but they child could be doing so much better with a family rather than sitting in a foster home “waiting” for the right parents. Now that I am older and matured, I fully believe that the race issue in America will never be defeated. No matter what new laws the government makes there will still be racist people out there. It is wrong, but really we have all tried to change people’s views and we can’t continue to beat a dead horse. The white house and reporters need to focus on more important things such as the race problem rather than spending too much time on irrelevant things, such as the situation with President Clinton.Interracial Adoptions12ReferencesAnderson, D.
