Judgey McJudgerson??

Ok I know I've already posted today but I felt the need to vent. I'm an emotional person, everyone who knows me would agree to this in a heartbeat. A lot of things in the world affect me. I was just reading an article on the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, about Charlize Theron (whom I love by the way) and the first pictures where you can see her newly adopted son Jackson. I have to say he is super cute. But reading the comments people were posting makes me fear for the future of this world. People are so hateful and judgemental it's insane. For those of you who don't know, Jackson is of African descent. I'm going to plead ignorance as to his place of birth because 1. I don't know and 2. I don't care. I don't understand how people can care so much as to the color of skin that her baby has. So what that she's pale and blond? Does that mean she can only adopt a pale blond baby? To me all that matters when adopting is that you are going to love this child, no matter what, that is the only thing that should matter. My stepmothers bff has two adopted girls from China. I grew up baby sitting these girls and I saw them this past Christmas for the first time in a while. I can't imagine what their lives would have been like had they been raised in China in an orphanage, Devany's was a good, clean place, but Mariah's was far from it, her parent's still haven't shown her the video they took and the girl is 17. Jonathan's aunt adopted twin girls from China as well. I've met them, and they are gorgeous, smart and funny. These four girls were given an opportunity they otherwise would never have had. Their parent's are white (in fact Jonathan's aunt adopted as a single parent), a dental hygenist, an engineering professor and a telecommunications advisor. None of them could pass even remotely close to being Asian. Does this make them less able to raise their children. Not at all. These are people who would never have been able to have children on their own. I always said, and so has Jonathan, that once we are done having our own biological children, we would like to adopt, from China. Who knows, maybe my child (most likely a daughter) would be the one to solve world peace, or cure the cancer that killed her great grandfather, and its something she never would have been able to do otherwise. Would you judge me then for adopting outside of my race? I highly doubt it.
