Cross-racial adoption has detractors

The L.A.Daily News reports:
It took just a few life-changing seconds for Dane Holweger and Israel Segal to fall in love with Ziggy and Nola.

But even with that boundless love, the two know they can't protect their adopted African-American children from racism. As Caucasian men, they just don't have the experience.

"I can't raise them as a black parent because I am not black," Holweger said of the 3-year-old twins. "But we are hugely supportive of our children as black children. We want to provide for them culturally."
A movie here with Golden Globes potential?
