    I like black boys. They're so ethnic.

    You need to turn this question on its head and ask why social services would not and sometime still do not allow white couples to adopt ethnic children.

    Could it be because black boys are more likely to end up in doing crime?

    I think Fanny-Anne has a good point, unless policy has changed. Always seemed a fine idea to adopt out children to families of the same ethnic group, but it can really limit the number of available parents.
    Also the older a child is the harder it is to find them adoptive homes so the poor kids end up being in the system longer and longer.:(

    Yes, there is a major problem with councils not allowing trans-racial and also trans-religious adoption and this disproportionately impacts BME children.

    Couldn't hold back any longer huh. Were you getting concerned that no-one else was going to come out with this sort of statement?

    depends on the father. if he was always doing crime then that would get passed on the black boy. it's up to the people who adopted him/her to take the crime out of him.

    A question yes but with no evidence to back up your questioning or even adding some meat to it makes it not seem so innocent.

    But not in all cases. Some black children may befriend others who are a bad influence and lead them down the crime path instead. The father may not be someone involved in crime.

    It's how kids are brought up that tends to be the cause of that, not their skin colour.

    ( I shouldn't need to say that)

    Maybe the question should be "why are there a disproportionate number of black children up for adoption?"

    White parents can't pass black children off as their own
