Newborn babies period have a waiting list.
But why should people ONLY want to adopt newborn babies? It is their prerogative, but I would wager that some of their motives are less than altruistic.

they want a baby that will be an integral part of their family. These are people who wanted their own kids, for the most part, and couldn't have them. They aren't doing it for the good of the world, they're doing it to extend their own family, and from that perspective, the younger a child is, the better he or she will fit in.
Plus they want to experience infancy of a child.
It is their perogative, and it's perfectly natural. Not everyone wants to deal with older kids who have issues of loss, anger, developmental delays, behavior issues...and who may still need and want to maintain contact with family members.

I can see that, but I would also think that raising a child of a different race will give the child identity issues. And how does that baby "fit in" to the family?

easy young children adapt and are color blind to the people that love them and care for them. It is a good experience for the child when they grow up and go out into the world that is full of people from differant races.

The rest of the world would see the difference. A 4 year old may not see or even know what the stereotype of certain races, he and his classmates will surely see and point out the differences in his race in comparison to his mother or father.
Lol. I was going to say, all kids go through identity crisises...sometimes multiple ones.
Maybe it is because those children need good homes regardless, even if the adoptive parents are white. Children do not see black, yellow or white skin when they are fed, clothed and loved.Everytime I look at the news I see white people adopting black or asian children. I would like to know why the sudden intrest in black children are they some kind of trophy. There are children in other countries that are elligible for adoption so I don't understand why black children.:
Sorry, news isn't people living quiet lives. The news that gets covered is crime.
If you just want good publicity, hire a publicist.
Other than that, I'm not sure exactly what your tirade has to do with multi-racial families.
The OP was speaking more on actual Africans, rather than blacks.

The Op has an edit button like everyone else. Why didn't he/she use it to refer to the blacks as Africans?
This thread was designed specifically paint the issue with a broad stroke.
In using the word black, without being specific, he'd basically threw the entire ethnic group into the discussion, which pretty much summarize my point.
There are black american children and teens being adopted or taken in by white families; There's a pretty good movie about one such case; still in the theaters if you're interested.
What makes their cases any different than that of the african adoptees?
Your floor...

Be careful, some on these boards may take you serious.So these people adopting children should go to other countries and only adopt white children? And they shouldn't adopt Black or Asian children from the USA?
I am POSITIVE the reason they adopt children of other races is so they can hold them up like trophies. I'm POSITIVE it's not because they want to offer these children a home with loving parents, right?
I have a great new pair of black boots and bag, think I should get one of these black babies to match or would that be toooo tacky?
I prefer adopting puppies that are more likely to match my fuzzy boots and I'm really serious.
