However, I think that with my background, it should be clear that embracing my Congolese child's heritage will be that I will consider myself Congolese as much as I would want him to see him as a mix of English, Swedish, and German heritage. Since we'd be combining those heritages into one family.

I have two friends who adopted children of other races. One adopted a boy and a girl from India. They lived in a progressive area and have had happy, successful lives. The other was a white couple who adopted four black children. Two of the children are fine with their white parents. The other two feel they lost their culture by being raised in a white home. They acknowledge, however, that their adoptive parents love them and that their lives are better being adopted than if they had been in foster care. Best wishes as you move forward with your adoption. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848197238675003339noreply@blogger.com
