Here’s the context. My wife and I were planning on a adopting a second child. We are capable of our own biological children, but I think that adopting a child that already needs care and love is more ethical than simply adding another human to the world. The agency had us watch a video about interracial adoptive families in which the children were angry that their parents weren’t of their own race and we’re calling them white saviors. This really threw me off because I thought adopting was a good thing to do but the video gave the impression it was bad and that we shouldn’t be white saviors about it. How do I know if I’m a white savior? Is it bad? Is adopting a child of another race bad?
(I feel like this is a really stupid question, so here we are. I have spoke to friends about this but they are all surprised I care at all).
