10. It isn't. My sister adopted black children. Her life has changed.....
... when she's with the kids out in public, she gets "looks" from white people.. where white people previously held open doors for her, now they don't, where she previously had an easy time getting help at stores, now she doesn't, etc. etc. etc. My entire family got a dose of what it's like to be black in the U.S. when my sister decided to adopt this way. One good thing has developed from it: I now have a zero-tolerance policy towards white racists, so these children have made me strong and tough!
