If solicitations are made to public...then public scrutiny should be expected.

One more thing, they would adopt a child of any race. They just want a child to love!

This is not a scam and I think you people are very hateful and hurtful! You do not know this couple and if you did, you would know they are loving, caring, hardworking people who just want to give a child a good home. They did have two girls for a week but, they went to a home that was prepared for two children at one time, and they keep up with them, pictures, birthday presents and Christmas presents. And they are trying to foster to adopt, what is wrong with wanting a baby for their first adoption? Instead of getting on here and judging people, why don't you do something for others? If you don't agree with them fundraising, don't give!! That should be very simple.
Please, please leave this couple alone, you have no idea what they have already been through!!

Why didn't they keep the little girl DSS placed in their home that they could adopt?

I didnt realize that she had two girls placed with her before, and then gave them up. She addressed the Africa thing as being a scam, but what is the reason for giving up two kids you already had the chance to adopt? Not trying to be rude or anything, Im just curious and others probably are too.

Something to consider with the fundraising. The parents receive the money twice.

Either way, most costs are returned with the tax credit.

" Unless I'm mistaken, adopting is different from fostering. You don't receive the money from the state for assistance."
if it's through a state agency, then yes, you do receive assistance until the adoption is final!

Actually, that comment from Bestill came well after the discussion on race had begin. The OP had every right to question the legitimacy of the fundraiser paper she received. I've never heard of adoptive parents "fundraising", not to say it doesn't/couldn't happen. I'm like everyone else, it would make more sense to be financially ready before taking on the responsibility of a child you are choosing to bring into your home. If $10k is not in the parents budget, or way out of reach, how will they handle raising a child. Unless I'm mistaken, adopting is different from fostering. You don't receive the money from the state for assistance.

Nothing wrong with only wanting a white American baby. Lot's of folks are selective like that.

If you are foster parents then why don't you foster to adopt? People do it all the time. I know a lot of families here in Wilkes County that have fostered babies and when the parents rights were terminated, they adopted.

Bestill- this was your comment: "For myself, I do not hold it against them that they want a white American baby" . And this was directed towards everyone that jumped on the bandwagon against the African baby- and making comments about them not wanting a black child. Whatever, it is sad that people are so hateful and evil.

No, I said they turned down an African baby. You read the racism into it.

Defamation laws are everywhere! You say that she posted that she wouldn't take a black baby? REALLY? Those were her words?, I think you need to read it again, because never does it say that- to assume all African people are black is a pretty racist thing to say, I know plenty of white African people. Like I said, you best know all the facts and be able to stand behind them all.

RaeRae29 (view profile) | Posted 10:55 am, 08/25/2012 | Smart^^^ - there is free of speech, but then there is also defamation of character and hate speech. and to make this couple out to seem racist or such is against the law. These are no threats by me, this the laws of this land, if you don't like it take it up with the government! No different than someone getting on here and calling you a rapist, you wouldn't like it one bit (if someone practices their freedom of speech, they best have the proof to back it up because that is where the laws come in to protect citizens from having their lives ruin and reputation ruined because of untruths) | Shut up. You aren't helping her out, you are only going to make it worse, for the ones who might have thought about helping her with the fundraisier. They will look at it, shake their head, and say DRAMA DRAMA,
