What’s wrong with me?

Question

From a young age I’ve always admired women of color. I myself am white, and my husband is Hispanic/ white. I’ve dreamed of having a daughter of color, I’ve always tried to keep myself informed. I have two beautiful boys with my husband but one day I’d like to adopt, my husband is uncomfortable with having a child that’s not biologically his. It’s very upsetting for me, and I feel like there is something wrong with me because I crave this so badly.

Answer

i feel like there’s more something wrong with him... adoption is a wonderful thing and you should be proud of yourself for being willing to take another child into your home

Answer

There is nothing wrong with either one of you. I understand what you want, but not everyone feel that they can give love to an adopted child the way they do their own flesh.

Answer

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. As a white woman I'm definitely more attracted to poc. I've always wanted to have a mixed race child. I do believe that my family's racism growing up was a huge factor in it for me. My husband is black and we're expecting our first and only biological child, and the next child I have will be from adoption. There are people who absolutely refuse to be with somebody outside of their own race, absolutely refuse to have children outside of their race, why can't we want the opposite?

Answer

He being truly messed up, obviously he's never been in the foster system. I myself haven't but I have lived with a guardian and it really sucks not having your parents care about you, so please go through with the adoption it will save their lives❤

Answer

Adoption is a beautiful thing & god bless your heart for wanting to be that safe haven for a child in need (I was a foster child myself) .... this is something you and your husband should furthermore discuss ...
