One of the celeb mags is coming out with pics of Sandra carrying her new son around and it appears that Sandra is fully embracing her role as mom and not focusing on her divorce. I think this is great, however I have to wonder if these new parent’s of multicultural adoption’s are really prepared for or factoring in the realistic difficulties that they and these children will face.

In Sandra’s situation, not only is the child of a different ethnicity, but then he is also male. It is reported that Sandra may co-parent with her ex, but there is no definite answer and it definitely doesn’t appear that way with them living in two different states at this point. As a baby or even a young child, I don’t feel there should be too much of a concern, but once the child hits adolescence and starts having the need to start to find his own identity and wants to know genetically where he comes from, there will be a need for outside relationships.

Ultimately, I think that multicultural adoption would be a fine concept if people in general were more knowledgeable about other races and cultures, but as a society we are no where near as united as what we would like to believe. I wonder if a woman who was in the exact same situation as Sandra, minus the millions would be able to hold that same adoption. I know all of this doesn’t sound very PC, but I think there should be some serious questions asked when it comes to this new trend concerning how we are molding new American families.

Human beings aren’t like cute puppies you take home, dress up and show off. They are complex with complicated feelings, needs and emotions. There will be a day that these children operate outside of their family in the world, on their own and will need the necessary tools to do so. Where is the support team for that and why isn’t the media covering that as well?
