@xoxYourMommyxox I think it depends on your specific situation. If you're half Latina, adopting a latino child, I would say its not a big issue: half of your family is latino so thats a great start to making that kid feel at home. If you're talking about adopting from a totally different race, like a black or Asian child, remember that despite many common experiences shared by ppl of color, the life of a black child will differ from that of a latino child, so the advice in the vid still applies.
But Chinese culture or any culture isn't some commodity that can be gift-wrapped and handed to a child. It has to be experienced not just taught to them by a parent who has no roots in that culture. Transracial adoption is a bad idea.
@Kirke182 Yeah but some kids never get adopted a live in government care all their lives. Surely it's better for them to be raised in a loving caring home and at least have a chance of having a family even if it's a different race rather than no family at all???

Hmmm, good thinker. I enjoyed this video greatly.
@Kirke182
it is not a bad idea. besides, there are people who are chinese who know nothing of china bc they do not live in china.
When was this movie released?
