Thanks so much Lisa! I will definitely take you up on the support and the Rainbow Families is a great link. Thanks!! Deb, I agree, we've hopefully come along way since the 70's and 80's with cultural awareness and adoption issues overall. And yes, thanks to Brianna for providing the article!

The part of the article of most interest to me was regarding the international adoptee community and their strong negative feelings about international and transracial adoptions. It's important information for those of us being considered for transracial adoptions. It would be wonderful to have feedback from this community on how best to support a tranracial child. As with all other couples, Pete and I are educating ourselves as much as possible but we would love to be apart of a local group/community experienced in transracial adoption. Does any one have this type of group in their area? We may have to look into starting our own!
