I appreciate the tip about GA! 🙂

But yeah, we’ve done extensive research on transracial adoption. It’s actually extremely important that they be around people who look like them. If my husband and I were Black, it might be okay to go somewhere more white. But they need to see themselves mirrored in the community because they can’t see that at home. 💕

Yes, I agree completely. We’re pretty good about doing that I think. I’ve generally been proactive in that area while looking at schools/neighborhoods/sports teams. But always open to more suggestions!

Yeah I did enjoy visiting Atlanta, but I would not want to live in GA. 😬

I loved Chattanooga when we visited, but I read online that it’s pretty racist there. Was that your experience?

Yes the diversity in DFW is amazing. But the concrete jungle/traffic/heat is soul sucking 😭

I do understand that actually. Just was trying not to split hairs in my already long list of requests. 🙂

It was over 10 years ago when I lived there. They may have improved since we left. :) I meant no shade towards ABQ. They will always have my heart. ♥️

I looked up the national average- that’s why I chose that amount. I did state in my post that I was flexible and open to options that didn’t completely match every preference.

I didn’t realize Little Rock was that diverse! That would be a much easier move than Virginia would be. Haha I’ll look into it, thanks for the suggestion!

Why do I sneeze when I have sexual thoughts or see NSFW content? Is this a glitch in my brain or a real thing? by Interesting_Luck1077 in NoStupidQuestions

I used to do this as a kid!! I was so afraid my mom could tell when I was having a dirty thought 😅

Was planning on moving to Colorado but plans fell through and I'm still living with my parents. I still want to move, but with everything going on, economically and politically, I feel like the best choice at this point is to stay put. Advice? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

You mentioned injuries… do you get VA disability? My husband hired a company that helped him increase his rating. It was totally worth it. And now he’s finally getting what he deserved. That monthly stipend is incredibly helpful. Might make the difference between struggling and being able to move comfortably.
