My family takes in foster children. We have had a current foster child for almost 2 years. We've had him since he was 2 weeks old. He is my brother, no matter what lack of blood or heritage we share. We are moving to adopt him and although I know love conquers all bounderies I am wary of the issues he may face while growing up in a white family. I have black friends who have grown up in white families and it easily noticed that they are different then the stereotypical black american, which is wrong in the first place to have, but also I know one friend feels disconnected from the black community. What are some ways that a white family could help a black child feel part of the black community but also know they  a are loved and are part of a white family? Is it mearly helping them interact with the black community or is there something else that needs to be done? Is it impossible? Wrong? If you have any imput or suggestions I am interested to know. I am merely exploring this question from different avenues.. thanks
