Transracial Adoption and Self-Identity

in Adoption & Infertility Ministry, Transracial Adoption

Check out this intriguing interview with J.B. Watkins, Senior Pastor of St. Roch Community Church, a multicultural congregation in New Orleans.

J.B., who is bi-racial, offers some good suggestions about how white parents who are raising black children can help their children develop a healthy awareness of their black identity.

He also addresses how different-race parents can help their children deal with racism, how to offset raising different-race children when you live in a non-integrated neighborhood, and other important topics.
