I believe there's a special place in heaven for (most) people who adopt kids.
Raising children can be wonderful, joyous, and thrilling, but it is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of work on the best of days.
I also think that people who adopt kids outside of their own race, do it with the best intentions, and many times with great results.
But there's another side of the story that warrants examination.
This quick video clip is a black woman discussing being raised by a white family in an all-white environment. It sheds light on the challenges families like hers face.
