Why We Push So Hard For Black Adoption

There is a growing awareness in the adoption community about the importance of placing Black/biracial babies with Black/interracial adoptive families. While private infant adoption has been a popular option for couples who struggle with infertility or those who want to expand their families, it is vital to recognize the significance of matching Black infants with Black adoptive families. Studies show that children who grow up in homes that reflect their cultural identity and heritage have better outcomes in terms of mental health, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

Black adoption is an essential aspect of private infant adoption that has been overlooked for far too long. Usually, babies get placed with whoever is willing to pay the expensive adoption fees, white couples. Placing Black babies with Black adoptive families ensures that they have access to a supportive and nurturing environment that recognizes and values their racial and cultural identity. Additionally, it provides them with role models who understand their unique life experiences and can provide them with guidance and support as they navigate their journey.

It's also crucial to note that transracial adoption, or placing Black babies with non-Black families, can lead to cultural disconnection and identity confusion. Black children who grow up in non-Black households may struggle to develop a sense of belonging and may face discrimination and racism in their daily lives. By placing Black babies with Black adoptive families, we can ensure that they grow up in a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive and develop a strong sense of self. Colin Kaepernick, a famous transracial adoptee, recently shared in interviews that even though he is biracial and was adopted by white parents there was still racism perpetuated in the home. Telling him he looked “like a thug” when he grew his hair out for cornrows. It shows that you can adopt a Black child and still be racist. Are all white adoptive parents racist? Absolutely not, but there is a staggering amount that are.

We believe it is essential to prioritize Black adoption and ensure that Black babies find homes with Black adoptive families. By doing so, we can help ensure that these children grow up with a strong sense of identity, belonging, and self-worth, which are vital for their mental and emotional well-being.
