Answer :

There are way more black children that are homeless in my neck of the woods. So it will make perfectly sense to see black children with white parents. There is a long waiting list for adopting white children in South Africa. White people around here are in a better position to care for children than many black people out there. Adoption is a long process and you go through a strict process to get adoption clearance. Many people don’t want to go through such a process.
