If this situation had occurred, say fifty or sixty years ago, this would be a real concern to have. As Albom continues his research on the topic, once again the audience can find a person from this community who vouches for not understanding the issue, especially since several Mennonite couples have adopted black children (Albom 3). To further support the author's thesis, the reader should also look at an excerpt from the book published in The American Prospect by Claudine Chiawei O'Hearn. While she was a white child born into a black family, she provides a first-hand account of how the environment around a child matters for everything (O'Hearn 1). This applies to Albom's argument in the sense that when things fall where they will, it is solely the duty of the two parents to make this young girl feel accepted. This can be seen further when O'Hearn mentions something James McBride wrote: “'Never once in my life have I woken up not knowing whether I should eat matzo balls or fried chicken. I never thought that I would be able to play the sax better if my mother had been black, or that I would be better at math if my father had been Jewish. I like myself, and I like myself because my parents liked me'” (Qtd. in O'Hearn 3). This further demonstrates that if the parents of the child in Albom's argument have sole responsibility for the outcome of their new child's perception of life. O'Hearn quotes Julia Jefferson Westernian who gave an interview to NBC's Nightly News: "'It's such an American thing to have a drop of this and a drop of that'" (Qtd. in O' Hearn 1). While the child in Albom's argument may be based on a child who is predominantly of two races within a combination of multiple genomes, it is nearly impossible for anyone to have a genuine right to judge. This is only because at this point in human existence it is nearly impossible for someone to be purely a single thing. Through
