/// The reason may be down to ecomonics - there are far more affluent/middle class adopters (how many working class families adopt) and there simply isn't enough middle class professional families to adopt black kids in care...therefore these children have little chance of being placed with black families. ///
Oh no not that old chestnut again, it seems whenever there is an problem regarding black persons, the excuse is often down to economics.
Why is this just because one is black doesn't necessarily mean that one has less opportunities, one has the same education opportunities as whites, in fact in some prominently black areas they enjoy extra financial funding.
It is all down to what the individual does with those opportunities, the Asian community are a prime example, Doctors, Pharmacists, Optometrist, etc etc.
But then it is not only Middle Class couples who adopt, there are many ordinary working class white families who adopt.
