I agree wth MaE, not everything is a political statement. What does it matter, anyway? What mattters is that the child is loved, not the “price at which she was bought”.
Besides, while the fees could be seen as “racist”, there are different costs for several different reasons, not only “race”. Perhaps a white child will have one cost at one agency and another at another. Should a parent tell her that she paid less?
While the fees may be “racist”, it’s not completely irrational to offer a lower fee for a child that is harder to place. They just probably reflect the fact that there are more white parents who adopt children than black parents. And many will usually prefer white babies, even if only for the reason that the child will stand out less as “adopted”. Now you can say that society is racist and that the fees reflect that, but I don’t see the behavior of a white parent that adopts a white child and not a black child as necessarily “racist”. It’s a bit like saying that I’m a racist because I don’t vote for Obama.
So I think your need to tell her has more to do with political views than with the child. I don’t think it is so relevant for her, and might even hurt her.
Just an opinion.
