A Transracially Adopted Child’s Bill of Rights
*Every child is entitled to love and full membership in her family.
*Every child is entitled to have his heritage embraced and valued.
*Every child is entitled to parents who are not adopting to save the world.
*Every child is entitled to parents who know she will experience life differently than they do.
*Every child is entitled to parents who know that transracial adoption changes the family forever.
*Every child is entitled to parents who know if they are white, they benefit from racism.
*Every child is entitled to ongoing opportunities to connect with people of his or her race.
This is taken from our last session for adoption. We had two more sessions than normal b/c we are looking at bi-racial or transracial adoption. My prayer is that we can give a child all of this and more!
