Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently opened up about the adoption process he and his husband went through on their journey to adopt their two children, explaining he was shocked to learn of the racial disparities in the process.

“By the way, anybody who says race is not a thing in this country should experience an adoption process where there are literally different lists,” Buttigieg said during an appearance on the "Flagrant" podcast released Wednesday. “If you say that you want a white kid only versus if you say that doesn't matter. Like, literally a different list."

"The list for white kids is longer," he continued. "Not only that, there was actually a discount, or you didn't have to pay a deposit on the fetus. This is like, how it works. I couldn't believe it.”
