Please share with us your thoughts and experiences. We live in a predominately white area(and are ourselves of Irish/German/European descent), a few Native Americans and African Americans, a few Native Indians etc. It's a college town so more diverse than others. The child is Catholic and we are, too, so that helps. Please- were you adopted, know anyone who was adopted from Tanzania? Share with us your views. THANK YOU!!! ASANTE SANA! BTW- we are also trying to learn swahili, too.

How old is the child? That will determine how easy the transition will be. I am sure Angelina Jolie's kids from all over the world are doing just fine because they were adopted while young.
