Black Mom Gets Accused Of Stealing A White Boy That’s Actually Her Son, Says People Are Extremely Judgmental
For couples that are dreaming of starting a family, there is nothing more heartbreaking than being told that you are physically unable to have a baby. While there are more options than ever these days – IVF treatments have around a 40% success rate, for example – this is a costly and time-consuming process with no guarantee of success. Repeated failure to get pregnant can put a heavy strain on a relationship, and even the couple’s mental health.

Adoption is the logical next step. Even this process is fraught with uncertainty as there are many checks and steps that need to be passed, and it can also be very costly. Perhaps that is why only two percent of American families choose to adopt.

This is Princeton. His mother, Keia Baldwin, runs the blog Raising Cultures, in which she shares her stories of foster parenting, adopting, and raising a multiracial family.

Keia and her husband Richardo have been married for 9 years. Although Keia had one biological daughter (Zariyah, 16) from a previous relationship, she and Richardo were keen to grow their family the ‘traditional’ way.
Sadly, they were to find it much more difficult than anticipated. After several miscarriages, they turned to a fertility specialist for help.

“After months, then years of countless dollars spent, fertility drugs taken, failed IVF attempts, and still no baby, we were broken emotionally and spiritually,” Keia told Love What Matters. “I became bitter and depressed because I wanted nothing more than to have a baby with my husband and give our daughter a sibling.”

“My husband and I didn’t initially think about adoption right away, but explored the possibility of foster care. Luckily, in our city, we have an agency called Crossnore School & Children’s Home that afforded us the opportunity to foster to adopt. It wasn’t until we met Karleigh at age 11 (friend of Zariyah’s from school) that our mindsets toward adoption changed.”

After realizing that their love and bond towards their new family members were as strong as any biological child, the couple opened their hearts to fostering and eventually, adoption.
“After completing our foster care classes and becoming licensed foster parents, we didn’t want to set any hard stipulations on age, race, gender, etc. because we wanted to help the children God intended for us to help,” Keia continued.
“Ayden was our very first placement. He was also our first adoption 2 years later! We are so happy that God chose Ayden for us and us for him! Both Ayden and Karleigh are biracial and that has helped them bond as well. It’s important to have someone that looks like you and can relate to you.”

One day, Keia got a call about a newborn baby that needed some skin to skin from a mother figure. She headed straight to the hospital to help out.
“Upon arriving at the hospital, I saw so many beautiful babies in the NICU and wondered which black or brown baby they were going to pair me with,” she said. “The nurse ushered me over to this small little 2-pound white baby boy, who was also beautiful I might add! Initially, I thought to myself, ‘Are they serious. Is this a joke?’ but then my motherly instincts kicked in!”

Feeling an immediate bond with Princeton, Keia and Richardo had no hesitation in taking him into their home. Multiracial adoption is a common phenomenon – with people seeing no problem with the likes of Madonna swanning around Africa adopting black babies, why should it be different the other way round? Sadly, Keia was to find that in our society, it just is.

“To us, it didn’t matter that he was white but boy, but it did matter to others! I would have never thought my son being white would cause so much judgment, ridicule, backlash, and downright hatred and racism,” she explained, adding, “We’ve had the police called on us several times when he was an infant because they thought we’d kidnapped him.”

“Once, in a grocery store, an older white gentleman came up to my son and I while he was sitting in the shopping cart and started recording and taking pictures. I asked him what he was doing and to stop immediately. He explained to me that he was going to take this ‘evidence’ to security because I had ‘obviously stolen’ someone’s baby.”
Image credits: raisingcultures
“We’ve been faced with judgment from our children’s teachers where our daughters have been asked if he is ‘really’ their brother. I must be the ‘babysitter’ they add. We’ve gotten, ‘Why didn’t you adopt a black child when so many black children need good homes?’ Or, ‘Why didn’t you let that baby stay with his kind?’ We have been in restaurants and have almost been ‘held hostage’ and not let out the door because they thought Princeton was kidnapped.”
Image credits: raisingcultures
Of course, these types of incidents are incredibly hurtful and can bring some self-doubt as to whether they did the right thing. Who wants to be stared at and judged every time you go outside with your son?
However, despite the challenges, the ups and downs and the emotional rollercoaster that adoption can bring, Keia doesn’t regret it for a second.

“The day we bought Princeton home from the hospital was the day our lives changed for the better! Being his mother is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m stronger, wiser, kinder, and definitely more patient.”
Image credits: raisingcultures
“Although faced with a lot of challenges, the support for our multiracial family has been overwhelming. Through our family blog Raising Cultures, we have met some amazing people. I loving referring to them as my kids’ cyber aunties and uncles! We get the opportunity to educate others on the realities of being a multicultural family, good, bad, or indifferent.”
Image credits: raisingcultures
“Education is key to breaking down barriers of racism, prejudices, stereotypes, and division. Our hope is that because of our love story, others will not be afraid to foster/adopt and not place limitations on love. Love is colorful! We all have the capacity to love without limits, we just have to be willing to open our hearts up to do so!”
Here’s what people had to say about the story
I find it truly sad that, in 2019, people still think it's OK to be openly and blatantly racist.
The skin color is only an issue because of adults, kids really don't care until they are taught to.
All humans figure out ways to divide themselves. In Northern Ireland everyone looks the same but it was protestants vs catholics. They even share the same god and they STILL fought. People will divide by socioeconomic status, by interest, by country, by looks, by all sorts of things. Skin colour just happens to belong to that list. If racism went away, it would be replaced by another way to separate. That's just the way humans have always been.

Load More Replies...As a single mom of a biracial girl, I used to get a ton of comments asking me WHEN I adopted her. B***h please, she came out of me. I love my child more than life itself and I don't see her as a color. Never have. People who can look past her tanned looking skin and fine, but curly hair will see that my child looks like me. Same facial structure, same smile. She's a momma's girl through and through.
My kids are part Chinese and I really feel you. I still remember my first time alone with my son in the pediatrician's waiting room, a mother was really upset that I had to go to China to adopt him. When I answered that I gave birth to him, she didn't belive me and dared to ask me why he was looking like a "Chinese baby" , "well, he looks like his father".... In fact, he also looks a lot like me when his little sister looks more like her father.
Load More Replies...I am half black and half white and was young when I had my oldest son whos father is white. When he got really sick I had to take him to the emergency room and while we sat their and waited to be seen I was approached by officers. Apparently the nurse thought I had kidnapped him because to her there was no way he could be my kid. Not only was the entire situation embarrassing, after that I would only take him to the doctors with my mom with me who is white. That was 30 years ago and while time it was a different time it was a hard reality of the world for me to deal with.
Horrible that while you're dealing with a crisis someone made it worse. Unconscionable.
Load More Replies...Its compassion when the child is coloured and parents are white and trafficking if colours are reversed. Just like a shooting is terrorism if done by coloured and mental illness if committed by a white.
Gotta agree. Read many accounts of how when white parents adopt a black child, they are lauded as heroes who help "their" community. The other way around is frequently met with police interaction....
Load More Replies...As a black person, I think that this family is absolutely awesome. That little boy needed a family and he has one. It doesn't matter the color of their skin or his. He seems to truly love his family and they love him. Apparently people don't realize that he was in foster care because his white biological mother didn't want him.
"because his white biological mother didn't want him" - and his father.
Load More Replies...I can't believe they've had so many hurtful situations just from adopting a white child. It's disgusting just let them be yh you may think things about the situation but that doesn't mean you got to say them. It's not right ...
I'm against frivolous lawsuits, but honestly, each time someone tried to detain or accused them of steeling their own child should have been slapped hard with a defamation of character and emotional distress lawsuit. This is just plain stupid.
So best thing to take away here is to mind your own f*****g business
When I was growing up, I went to Catholic school. All of the nuns I ever knew would say, "The eleventh commandment is 'Mind your own business!" Good advice!
Load More Replies...So let me get this out of the way: I generally try not to let anything get under my skin, and try not to get angry at people, etc. But if I hear someone criticizing someone because they adopted, or fostered, or people saying "oh, you don't look like the rest of your family. Are you sure you are related? (Or something along those lines)", I will more than likely try to beat the living c**p out of you. Who the f*ck cares. I'm adopted, and I am proud to be. My family is amazing, and I am very loved and blessed to have them!
Beautiful family! Families come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Love is love as far as I'm concerned.
I love their family! My brother and sister in law have been on an adoption journey for a few years (too many of you ask me) and they had looked into children of different races and they were told by CAS (Children's Aid services, Canadian province of Ontario's version of child protective services basically) that they would rather a child age out of the system going from foster home to foster home rather than be adopted by a family of a different race....so sad
What a waste of an opportunity for some child/children. As you say, it is appallingly sad.
Load More Replies...People should just mind their own business. In this case, the son was hers (through adoption, yeah, but that doesn't make her any less of his mother), but even if that weren't so, maybe she was an aunt of a diversely mixed family, or a nanny in charge of the kid, maybe even a teacher. Why assume immediately she kidnapped him? It's stupid.
I'm fine with this, adoption is adoption, all that matters is that is a good loving home. I know people are used to seeing whites adopt non-white kids, but the reverse happens to, and it is fine and even a former celebrity (Nicole Richie) was from that type of adoption. These people here sound great and kudos to them for doing something wonderful
I agree with your post, but just to clarify, Nicole Ritchie is not White, she is biracial from a black father and white mother.
Load More Replies...I'm what you call biracial and so is the father of my daughter and by some genetic bingo, my daughter pulled all the whiteness from both of us. I will never forget the day I was being discharged from hospital and having Drs and nursing staff check and recheck if I was her mom. Her dad watched her enter this world and his first words were "she's really white" and then refused to leave her side. My mom is born and bred Irish and my daughter is the splitting image of her grandmother. I laugh about it now but I still get looks and see people whisper when we're out and about. I just tell myself they can't handle that she is so beautiful.
They all look so happy! Also I love the all in blue outfits picture. Especially Keia's hair style 💪
But if a white family had adopted a black baby, they'd get complimented for "doing a good deed." People suck. The kid is happy having a family to take care of him. Why can't people be happy for that??? Why do they have to be a**hats about it??
What a wonderful family and caring parents. Anyway, in Europe no one would call the police seeing a black woman with a white child. At worst, people could think she's babysitting and leave alone.
Mixed families are so common in the UK that no-one would think twice. People have babies of various shades all the time. Why some people think they have the right to interfere I have no idea.
Load More Replies...After reading this I have several points beforehand I'd like to say Im mixed myself and caramel colored if you will anyway 1. My friend and her two siblings were ALL adopted (she was four and rescued from an abusive foster home with a 17 year old boy trying to assault her and a foster "mom (if you can even call her that) who starved her and her siblings and beat them because people) her birth parents were both drug addicts and yes she is white but her true race is hispanic and it just DISGUSTS me the looks she gets when shes with her (adoptive) father because he is filipino and of a darker tone 2. Instead of assuming people should be HAPPY this boy was adopted by two LOVING parents and that he has so many siblings who also love him and have no shame in claiming him as family just because he isnt african american 3. I hope peoppe can have this SAME energy for kids who are ACTUALLY reported missing, Im just saying Im sure a hospital would NOTICE a missing infant
Uggggh, I love crying while I eat dinner and I was totally trying NOT to salt my food tonight. This family is beautiful and this country needs more people like these wonderful parents. They are truly a blessing to those near and far. These children will have a terrific foundation from which to build their own lives. Best of luck and God Bless Baldwins!
Really, Angelina can get whatever kid she wants, gathering them like a human zoo, but this couple cannot take care of a white baby? I have seen many couples adopt a brown or Chinese baby, and everyone praises them for their bravery, but the opposite obviously it's not acceptable. Double standards
I am also adopted, and my little bro (who btw is too adopted), is African-American.
The first paragraph makes the assumption that adoption is plan D, only to be tried after failure to produce biological kids via different methods. Not the case. Bored panda doesn't need to make for excuses to adopt a child. It can be plan A.
Anyone who's being stupid enough to think that skin color makes it so that he can't be their baby and who says that somehow they're making someone unhappy is so blatantly wrong. They have made all of their children happy.
Love is colour blind and knows no limits. Thank goodness for people like you who do so much to prove that. Prints on is one lucky little boy to have a family like you who will bring him up to be a kind caring open hearted and open minded person. I just wish that there were more people like you in the world.
Regardless of skin color, there is more sheer stupidity to that guy who accused her of kidnapping. Like, if you kidnap a person, especially a child, you are not going to take him in public bc people would be looking for him?! People are jerks, racisim, yeah it happens. I, sadly, say very racist things sometimes without realizing how wrong it is. But I swear, if people put in two seconds worth of thought into the logistics of things, half the stuff people say would have never left their mouths! White people can kidnap white people! And beleve it or not, children don't always look like their parents, adopted or otherwise! I am adopted, and I look more like my adopted siblings then my biological ones! And really, if you think a child is a victim of kidnapping, you do NOT let the ""suspect"" know you are on to them! Come on people! Wake up and smell the cheesecake!
Many foster parents don’t care about kids very much and only adopt kids because they need a maid/ servant or something. Boy seems to be happy, so you can’t be terrible parents
There's a French comedy about this situation, "Il a tes yeux", where a black couple adopts a white baby. The film is both hilarious and spot on regarding the issues and prejudices such a family might face (in a French context, of course).
Using logic, that guy would have probably figured it out. Wonder what the mom was thinking at that moment. Second thought, he should have just minded his own business.
My parents did forstercare for 15+ years so I grew up with many many many foster "sisters" and my little brother is from one of those "sisters" it was alway funny when we all went out to eat. My very white mom and dad with 10 plus kids in all colors and sizes all hungry and loud. Lots of fond memories that's for sure.
One day, this won't be a thing, along with the other things people get their knickers in a twist about these days.Until then, brave people like these have to break the boundaries and face the -ists to change humanity's bigoted minds one day at a time. I wish them well, and it will be good when Princeton is big enough to answer back to the bigots about his mummy and daddy.
What a beautiful family this is! I wish them many, many loving years of happiness together!
I have always believed no matter who they are, if they aren't evil, then they're fine in my book! XD Seriously, people are like so judgy, it's 2019. Think about it have humans evolved much in two thousand and nineteen years? Well yeah, they're not caveman anymore, but people still believe things that are so old. You shouldn't dwell in the past or worry about the future, you should mourn the past, work towards a good future, and think in the present.
I have a blog I look at regularly and the parents are white and the little boy is black.In fact I have seen many white people adopt babies and children from other nations where the child is of darker skin - NOBODY bats an eyelid. Yet when it is the reverse, all hell breaks loose! My mind just implodes at the hypocrisy of racial judgemental thinking. This little guy is loved. THAT is what is important. If we were blind, we wouldn't know the difference of colour. Love is love. Good on them for being foster parents!
