I'm a white female, and I grew up in foster care until I got placed in a girls group home where I stayed from 6 - 10th grade. It was 5 of us that were in the group home the whole time i was in there, and I was the only white one. We all got close, and because of this I ended up with all black friends. I recently was adopted, and now my foster mom says she doesn't like me hanging out with my black friends and is encouraging me to stop hanging out with them and start hanging out with the white kids at my school. The thing is, I have nothing in common with them, they are all silver spoon baby's, and I'm nothing more then a crack baby. Is it normal that I don't want to keep hanging out with my black friends regardless of what my adopted mother says?

    Yes, it is normal to want to continue a relationship with your friends. As myboyfriendsbitch said, unless she has a good reason to worry about you, she might just be racist. I would think that she would be able to understand how difficult it is for someone of your background to fit in with children who were born with that silver spoon, mon.

    It's unfair of her to judge your friends based on their race. However, if there is another reason, such as if they are disrespectful, she has a right to be worried and you should at least listen to her concerns. But if she's just going by race that's...racist.

    Stick with your friends. It sounds like to me they were there for you when no one else was.

      I've been called racist all my life, by those who don't know me. Those who do know me are my closest friends, first of which is a black man, best human being I've ever known. Several of my friends are hispanic, some born in MX and now U.S. citizens. I resent being called racist, when I have friends of so many different ethnic backgrounds. Even so, when your adopted mom wants you to drop your friends for whatever reason, I would think it important that she prove that she's NOT racist. Where would you be now, without your friends??

    And just to clear up a typo in the post, the last sentence is supposed to say, "Is it normal that I don't want to stop hanging out with my black friends regardless of what my adopted mother says"
