We had to take several online course about race and adotpion - and did much research on our own - like joining anit-racist parent's blog/newsletter. Additionally, the other AP's of non-anglo kids I've met in my community (50K midwestern town) seem to all understand how important race and our child original heritage is. Maybe I am just in the right crowd, I don't know, but what I do know that is non-AP's will listen to this and assume we are all irresponsible. But, needless that happens with everything. So excited about this documentary. amy ruffo While I think everything Dr. Crumbley speaks of is right on, I have to wonder who these AP’s are and more importantly who their SW’s are.
