Care of African American Children in Transracial Adoptions: Different Skin Colors - Blog Entry15 Feb 2007 07:32 PM Andrea, thank you so much. The boys have not talked about it lately, but I'm sure it will come up soon. Since we essentially picked them to be ours, we can also say how excited we were the first time we saw them and so forth.
