    My wife is non-white (S.E. Asian). One of my daughters looks white, the other doesn't. When they're together it's obvious they're related. One of my grandchildren looks Asian - and has a Mongolian Spot. The parents have to tell health workers that her grandmother is Asian, hence the spot, otherwise they might suspect abuse.

    And yes if you travel around in the day it isn't uncommon to see adults with children who don't look related but then who cares.

    If you are trying to get people to come to your church (cult) then you should appeal to actually who lives in the area.

    BTW not all evangelical churches are considered a cult but this one is.
    Cheer up with the variation of kids my wife cares for she was once asked if she had an open marriage.

    Under represented in those wishing to foster and over represented in those needing care so the statistics are sadly against your argument.

    FFS, don't bring facts into a debate, it only leads to tears.

    Though the biggest thing near me was there were 3 posters put up by an evangelical church (cult) building representing a local family, an older couple and an international family.

    They put the local family as white European and the international family as a rainbow assortment. It was noticeable as it was the wrong way round.

    Anyway after about 6 months they changed the pictures of the families....
