According to Somerville: “My youngest daughter is adopted, and she is also black. I only mention this because adopting Callie is what I am most proud of in my life since I can now say that I have made a difference in someone’s life in my own manner.

Callie, on the other hand, has made a significant difference in my life.”

“Also, I think the most interesting thing in the world is that my white biological child will grow up with a Black child as her best friend, and my Black child will grow up with a white child as her closest friend.

It doesn’t get any better than that, does it? “Somerville went on.

Frank Somerville is undeniably pleased with his children, and he usually updates Callie and Sydney on social media.
