The Interracial Mix for a Purer Race
"Black children belong in black homes even if white families are capable and willing to raise them." How is it that Americans can expect racial development, if people such as the National Association of Black Social Workers, a black advocacy group started to address social issues for blacks, are willing to remark in such a way to the idea of interracial adoption? One can fall into the ideas of the NABSW, but in reality people must realize that interracial adoption is a factor in the growth and progression of not only the United States, but of the entire world, and for that reason interracial adoption should be accepted and encouraged.

But of course, society's ignorance cannot allow a child to live a happy life, unless it is with their own kind, as if they were a breed of a dog. However, interracial adoption is allowing society to break the barriers between races, and allowing a more united and diverse race to be created. All that the people need to do is accept that one day the world needs to be united before it is brought to an end because of racial conflicts.
