perhaps, but i don't know why councils see fit to tell potential foster, adoptive parents that they can't adopt a child of a different colour, race. I have heard the arguments, that the child would need to have a sense of identity, but seeing how many children are waiting in care someone out there must see that a child needs a home, with good people, no matter the colour. I read, though i can't say with 100% certainty, that there are more black children in care than any other, so the poor mites could be waiting a long time before finding a suitable family.
