The post you are reporting:
The reason for giving into adoption babies to a foster mother and foster father of the same ethinc group probably was because an adopted baby should receive the knowledge that it is being cared for by a mother and a father.
I was taught in Army school near Aldershot that a child who has been adopted as a baby should be told at the age of thirteen or fourteen by the parents that he or she has been adopted. The scope behind it all, I immagine, was not to create a sentiment of being different to the rest of the family, including any brothers or sisters (step brothers and sisters) while in the vulnerable age of childhood.
It seems a good idea to me, as the complexity and -yes - (sorry some folks) spirituality of a child is delicate, and a growing baby and child needs and likes to think that it - he - she - is part of the family without any difference.
Things that quango law-makewrs of today probably overlook. It's got NOUGHT to do with racism. I'm sorry for anyone who thinks it has! In fact, it this reasoning is valid, as I believe it is, then it aapplies equally -oh yes, equally - to ALL children, irrelevant of their skin colour and ethnicity.
However, people may have different views! But what I wrote has nothing to do with racist resentment, but with child psychology, that is really a topic unto itself!
