The 2000s trend of celebrities adopting foreign children.

[seokii]

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?

I feel like a lot of white adoptee parents would just brush it under the rug like "nono, it's not a race thing sweetie, the world is just cruel to people who are adopted. it's because you're adopted. your struggles are a reflection of my kindheartedness, because I adopted you. Instead of giving birth to you, you know. You're not being subjected to racism, we're BOTH struggling because you're adopted."

Idk maybe I'm projecting

Also literally every time, these white adoptee parents have biological children too and THAT makes me uncomfortable.

I think the best dynamic I've seen was two transracial adoptees (Chinese girls) from the same country, not raised with any biological kids or siblings. Those sisters have a very close bond, and I get an overwhelming sense that it was really important, identity-wise, for them to have eachother.
