Dear Ann Landers,
bout that white Iowa couple who were adopt-ing the baby boy of an interracial union, they may be God's own, as you say, but I question their judgment. Americans are still a race-conscious people. These parents would do well to consider the problems the child will face. Will he be looked down on by both blacks and whites? What will the attitude of the neighbors be? Are they well enough integrated so that he will have ac-cess to both black and white friends? Parents who want to adopt "any child" should realize that children aren't poodles. There's more to it than providing "a good home." A child must grow into adulthood prepared to live in the real world.
