Emotional Support

Hi All, I wanted to join this group to see if I would fit in. I am a baby boomer but not dead! embarrassing to say, I need an uplifting word or two. I have been in an interracial relationship for 12 years. When I moved into my neighborhood it was predominately Caucasian, now it is 99.9 % African . we are in our late 50s and sadly we are catching hell. Well not me my beloved in every way our neighbors are the worst and one is a deputy! If he is standing in line people will walk up and get in front of him, or the server will serve people behind him and he becomes last, The name calling as people drive b.y! My daughter is bi-racial and she caught hell when she was small the girls cut between her braids the schoolbus driver let her off two blocks over from where she was supposed to and a gang of girls beat her up. she is 24 now but has little to no self esteem and goes to therapy. I have taken care of this , in a year we will have pad off our house and want to move to Texas, we will be retired but we have no idea of where we could move we just want to move in a racially diverse community, we are far from rich and LOVE has certainly kept us together. I was a nurse but got diabetes type 1 and also have glaucoma. I went to classes to get a foster child one that was interracial thinking my family could help her with alot of the questions she might have. Believe it or not the foster care supervisor told me one day after being with them for 5 years the reason I haven't received a child was that I was too picky. After sitting over an hour and explaining why we wanted a bi-racial child she gave me a condescending smile but has never placed or tried to place one with us. At meetings she never gives me eye contact other than greeting me when I come to class my fiance stopped because of the whispers and stares.It took a great amount of courage to lay this out with people I don't know but it is so hard. If anyone in this group can suggest a place in Texas so that I can start looking taking in consideration w will be on a fixed income and still would like to adopt a child. I would love to hear from you. At this point I would love to hear from anyone with a kind word. I tried to join another group to find Female friends but the were much younger, majority wanted a relationship I am not gay I just want some female friends to txt, e-mail or talk to. Thank you for reading my problem.
