Video: Problem with transracial adoption


The video gives a perspective from an african american who was adopted into a white family. He explains the issues that he is dealing with, which involve his identity.

I believe that this video is a great example of what a lot of transracially adopted children feel for these situations and others' reactions towards them. It would absolutely be difficult to grow up in a situation like this, not because of the family, but because of the people around the family. Fortunately, this world seems to be catching on to the trend and accepting it more. There will always be people who frown on things that are different because they do not understand or care to learn. All that we can do, like the man in the video is live life to the fullest and strive to prove to others and ourselves that anything is possible.
