Coloured kids not welcome in the US ?While the Homolobby and the involved Adoption Agency in the Netherlands made clear last year, that the urgency is there to adopt coloured children from the US while they are not adoptable within US boarders, the US is lifting hundreds to thousands coloured children from Haiti right now.
The Dutch government and public were convinced that the necessity was there to enhance and extend US adoptions to the Netherlands in the interest of the children of colour.
No government did ever demanded a thorough research included the opinion from adoptees of colour unless they supported the voice of adopters.
Neo Colonialism ?
It is a strange world where everyone forgot to look to the parents and adoptees and their needs. Instead they keep the supply of children circulating as long the children are not theirs. And at the end, it looks that, the more colour you have, the easier the availability of these children for intercountry adoption exists.
If that conclusion is correct, than the long avoided debate about 'possession' and 'power of decision' by one part of the world colour ruling and deciding about other people of colour should raise questions. Some adoptees already wrote in the nighties about mechanisms of neo-colonialism. To push the intercountry adoption issue towards this topic seems to be harsh and extreme, but it becomes day by day more difficult not to raise this question.
The hunt for children
With knowing all this and peace-corps and student recruiters scattered around the world to find new coloured children for the west, the question should be raised now; how valid are the adoptions from western countries based on colour ?.
Until now, no government has ever answered this question. But should it not become time now, the world should raise this question ?
