Multiracial family seeks African-American infant! Hey cysters! So, my family is at it again. I have read and heard that there are agencies with discounted programs for black infants, because they are not as in demand as white infants. Before anybody gets all flustered, I am a black woman and I just accept that this is the way it is. Most families that are adopting in this country are white and want white babies - I get it.
I am having trouble finding agencies that specialize in this and wondering if anyone has a recommendation. I know there have been some of you on here that have adopted black infants and did not wait very long. If you have had this experience, perhaps you would not mind giving me a ballpark figure of how much you spent? I know babies are priceless, but you still have to come up with the money and that's not easy to do on my budget. We don't want to use the same agency that we used with our son because their worker was LAME.
Any hints? Thanks for your help!
