Since Sandra Bullock’s announcement last week in People magazine that she’s adopted a Black baby boy from New Orleans, there has been a lot of debate on the issue of transracial adoption. Should we be glad black babies are adopted by white people instead of left as orphans in the child welfare system, or is it a trend the Black community should be wary of? Check out Roland Martin’s opinion:

    this is a dumb topic.
    Any loving, mentally stable, financially able, intelligent and willing person should be able to adopt any child who needs a home and a family.

    Or would you rather they live out their youths in an orphanage?

    wow @ soooooooooodamsexy…..how dare you even ask the question ‘WHY’ any of those celebs would want those black children….they are obviously not the ones with the problem its obviously you, what a terrible question to ask ‘why’ they would want to adopt those beautiful children. Maybe because they are people who deserve more than what they were handed in life, and these celebrities are taking it upon themselves to give them that since they have the means to do so. Yea I’m sorry that is evil how dare they want to give a child in need an opportunity. And maybe instead of getting mad at all these white celebs adopting black children…maybe you should question why more black celebs are not adopting them themselves????

    “you’re not adopting any kids but you dont want capable white people 2 do so”

    What makes you think Sandra Bullock is capable? Because she is on TV? And how do you know the whites who are adopting black babies are capable. And what is your definition of capable, as it pertains to your flimsy argument?

    Bullock’s husband is a racist! Yet, she felt the need to bring a helpless, black baby into her home… IN my book, that makes Bullock anything BUT capable!

    DUMB ASS TOPIC! ANYWAY, I’M HALF BLACK, HALF WHITE AND I’M GONNA ADOPT ME A BABY FROM VIETNAM LIKE THAT ADORABLE BABY ON MODERN FAMILY

    Doesn’t matter the background of the adopting parents, as long as the parents are good people with good intentions, instill good morals, provide good Black History education, the child should be okay. However, if the child is denied the right to explore his/her cultural origin, the child could suffer from self-identity issues later in life.

    @TheBigBlackNewsBlog: Sandra Bullock is getting a divorce.
    You have no idea who she is as a person or as a mother. In fact, it’s not your job to figure out if she’s a good, capable mother or not. There are trained people who do that work. If she was deemed capable by those who can deem her capable, then so be it.

    The chances of the child living a happy life is far greater with Ms. Bullock than in an orphanage.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as they embrace that child’s culture and give the child all the love they need.
