Today was marvelous. Classes went well. Summary: cowboys in the west, a lot of them were black, 20% of settlers in the west were black; stuff on the Kuba (also known as Pygmies) in Africa; Derrida. I made intelligent comments in Morrissey's class and my brownie point rating went way up...
Work: i was in a good mood and got to train someone. cool, yet weird since i've only been there a month.
question I've been thinking about: I want to adopt an African and an Indian kid at some point in my life, but i'm afraid of getting complaints about not raising them in "their" heritage etc. especially complaints about raising the african kid "white." I would want my kids to be well adjusted and not feel that they are being forced into anything. opinions?
that's all i've got.

every family has its own culture. simply raise your children the best that you can. the best you can do when they're young is raise them as you would any child born of your own womb. if they have the interest in learning about their ethnic heritage, then the best you can do is to support them in that. but you should always remeber, each family has its own culture. even if your children have different ethnic heritages, they are still part of one bonded family.

Agreed. Traditional culture is less important than a stable home environment. Teach your child about his culture, if you want, but remember that your "culture" is really what you grow up/live in, not where your ancestors did.
