We just got our adoption education approved! Yay! It consisted of 9-10 hours of dvds along with questions we had to complete. Some of the questions we had to complete were about discrimination in the event of a transracial adoption. I think the coolest thing we watched is a study/experiment that was conducted by a lady named Jane Elliott. Check it out here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/
Here are my take-aways:
- What we see and hear have a huge impact on what we believe which affects the way we behave.
- We all still struggle with stereotypes and have prejudices even when we may think we don’t.
So how’s that for something to munch on? 🙂
