It's like the many American missionaries who trot to Haiti or Africa at great expense (and danger) and totally bypass the many need people in their own country. Very odd behavior.

When you are adopting you have full control of your decisions. You can take your time to find the best family and reducing 'multi-cultural tension' should be an important consideration.

Note only White people pull this stuff. You almost never see Korean families or Black families adopting outside of their race. But Whites revel in it, to their own demise, ultimately.

Chas. Dickens, in Bleak House, describes a do-gooder woman who thinks globally, but does NOT act locally. Classics are classics for good reason. I am with you, Based Florida Man.

I get your point, but: (a) "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,..." Matthew 28:19, so God said to; also, we have many Christians here, and like the sign I like so much says, as people exit a church parking lot, "You are now entering the mission field." We are all missionaries. (b) because so many American professional women's biological alarm clocks go off when it's too late to have children naturally, the market for white adoptive kids, esp. babies (and it is a market, I'm afraid) is intense, and black families are more likely to be broken, I think, so there are way more non-white children available for adoption even here than there are white children. The two situations I know of with a black child adopted into a white family are highly successful.

My problem is when youth groups and other church groups love to take overseas trips to do "mission work" but have never once shared the gospel in their own city.

You are so right! There are so many orphans in our own country, and so many kids who are shuttled from foster home to foster home. Why don't people help those in need in our own country first? If a relative was in need, would you not help that person and instead go help someone in another country? A friend of mine finally ended up adopting two sisters from Chile because she and her husband had unsuccessfully tried to adopt here. I understand that completely. But a LOT of people, especially those high profile celebrities out there who appear to just want to virtue signal, "Look t me, look at me, I adopted black orphans from X". They could easily have helped American orphans, white, black or other. But they wanted to virtue signal about how wonderful, open, and not racist they were." Ugh!

Virtue signaling. Once Anglos make themselves a definite minority, we can see how well we’re treated by other races. We’ll see the true value of all the virtue signaling.

Yep. South Africa is a good example of the White future.

Europe is on it's way as well.

I agree about Missionaries stay home, right up there with use our taxes at home. but Love makes a family and we need to open our hearts more.
