It works both ways.
My cousin (white) cannot have children and adopted two black children from Ethiopia who's parents were killed.
The adopted daughter (12 years old now and who was adopted at 4) was travelling with her adoptive grandmother (my aunt) to visit us.
Gatwick airport was not fun. Immigration treated my 78 year old aunt like a people trafficker.
The physically removed the girl, who was clinging to my aunt and interviewed her. They also interviewed my aunt. It was a most traumatic experience for both of them and undertaken in a hostile atmosphere.
The same thing happened on the return trip. It could have been handled better. She is a lovely young lady and will be welcome to visit again.
But of course everyone understands why it is done, and if they miss a real case then there will be hell to pay. I don't know what the answer is - do they randomly check same race families as well?
