When I was a kid I knew a fair number of transracial adoptees so it wasn't weird to me

But as adult, I find it weird...

It just seems like an unnecessary amount of stress to put on the child. Especially when white people adopt a child of color. How are you supposed to support them with any racism they might encounter?

yeah i've seen this firsthand. my home country is predominantly white and there's white couples who will adopt poc children, who later on have a really hard time dealing with identity issues around their race, teasing from people at school and in public in general etc.. it really is stressful for the child. i don't doubt a parent can love their child no matter the race of either party but you know.. it's an unfortunate situation. you kinda put your child in a position where they have no one who understands their struggles and can offer them support in a way that actually sticks i guess
