What is the impact of race on a child's adoption?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from British Columbia Birth Registration No. XX-XX297 (Re), 2015 BCSC 1577 (CanLII):
I agree that this is an important consideration and may be determinative where all else is equal. But as Wilson J. stated in Racine v. Woods, 1983 CanLII 27 (SCC), [1983] 2 S.C.R. 173 at 187: [T]he significance of cultural background and heritage as opposed to bonding abates over time. The closer the bond that develops with the prospective adoptive parents the less important the racial element becomes.
