I agree with MaE and Smarty.
Ma’am, you’re one sick, twisted person.
You did this piece just to show how enlightened you are, how “compassionate” & politically correct.
Whether you like it or not, babies become commodities when they enter the market, the supply and demand cycle, and you are willing to pay money for the transaction. It’s just that, a transaction for something you want but don’t have, and it so happens, for many reasons, not just “racist,” that black babies are harder to place.
If the market is so onerous and vile and racist, why did you decide to participate in it? Oh, you wanted to “save” a child from an evil society–the “hero” complex.
“Society” may be evil, but you are even more so to even contemplate to tell your daughter about your narcisistic, self-gratulatory pursuit.
Plus, as msg45acp says, she may draw the conclusion you took what was available given what you were willing to spend, which would be the truth, wouldn’t it? but would cheapen her sense of self. Why this anger–which I find highly suspicious–instead of being deeply grateful and moving on? I think it’s a fabricated anger, meant to gratify yourself and establish your PC credentials.
More sinister than the market.
Move on, ma’am
