I agree with this.
A white kid deserves white parents, and an Indian kid deserves Indian parents. I hate it when whites adopt Africans and fly them away from their homelands, and I don't like this any better. The adoption isn't about the parents and what they want, it's about the best interests of the kid.
An adoptee has enough problems to deal with already, he doesn't need the additional problems that come with trying to adopt across cultures.
Absolutely.
The more I read about trans-racial adoption, the more fucked up it seems. The children are far worse off in every category from drugs to abuse to low education. It's double whammy. First when you discover you were adopted, you have to feel like you were abandoned by your own mother, then you are given this huge guilt of having to feel gratitude to people who doesn't look like you. That has to mess with your head.
In addition, there are genetical hereditary personality traits, nothing to do with race, but you will quite likely be a very different person on key areas than your parents and that will add to the massive confusion and feeling of alienation.
Often the adopted parents will refuse to let children contact their biological parents if still alive (they usually are, despite claims otherwise).
A very common attitude I've seen from adoptive parents is that they "own" the adopted child.
I know there are plenty of successful adoptions, also transracial, but it requires complete honesty and that the adopted parents accept they are actually only guardians or foster parents and will be upfront and ready to help the adoptee reconnect likely during teenage years.
Overall, transracial adoption, not a good idea imo. At its worst it is human trafficing and tricking poor mothers into selling their children.
