@Zealist I have to know its pedigree. Have known a solid 2-handfuls of adopted kids taken up by good white families, and watched all that goodwill utterly squandered and burned. Bloodlines matter. Temperament matters. I wouldn’t jump in and play father unless I knew the kid comes from good stock, that he won’t end up flipping some low-class douchebag switch at 16 and wrap his 3rd Subaru STI around a tree while smoking weed
