Thank you for posting this, and great series of questions! I work at an adoption agency and race is a huge issue we deal with when matching BM’s with AM/AF’s. It is hard to believe, but many are afraid of ridiculous things such as this when considering adopting an African American baby.

I have two biological bi/racial children and two biological Caucasian children. The whole point of adopting kids is to love them unconditionally!!! If you can not do this or your having doubts, don’t go forward with any of this! These children have been let down time and time again don’t be the next person that lets them down

Actually, the prisoners are fitted for their pants. The underwear showing is a sign that they are “available” to other prisoners. What a sad trend for our children to pick up on as “cool”. I found this out on a church outing when some of our boys (from a very rural area) decided to be “cool”. We were informed by a prison chaplain that is wasn’t a good idea for them to exhibit their underclothes in this manner.

“So here I am, minding my own business, and because we are adopting a foster kid I am thrust into a heated racial disagreement.’

This is so true. I hate confrontation but our decsion to adopt two kids from Ethiopia puts us in the conversation of race often.

HMMMM…I wonder if Obama was ever called a “thug”. I hope I never hear this question regarding either of my kids (one white and one black). I may take it too personally.

This is a really great top ten list series, can’t wait to see the finished products. I think these is very informative about adoption. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and then link back to your site. We are looking for top ten lists and our users can track back to your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

I just learned this, but you may already know, the baggy pants thing is actually jailhouse fashion. You can’t have belts in prison, so guys hang out of their pants. Hence, the association of baggy pants with thugs, and why some school districts are banning the practice.

That said, I’ve heard some *stupid* and insulting questions in my life, but this one takes the cake!
