[quote=Anonymous]I am of Chinese decent and have an adopted child.  I was born in America and don't speak Mandarin.  I plan on learning with my DC and have started.  The group I am in started as well intentioned but I don't feel the connection to remain in the group. I wanted DS to have friends that are adopted too but I haven't made tight ties.  DS is too young and just thinks, fun when he sees them.   We have one other family with an older child that has the same dynamic as our family= Asian married to an American, adopted child.  I feel this is enough but am I doing a disservice to my child not having more adopted friends?  I just want him to be a kid= no title.

Sounds terrible but I feel like a token Chinese connection to this group.  I do have some times ties being that my  parents are Chinese.  They are disappointed that I am not more Chinese but oh well.  Now that DS is entering kindergarten it will be easier to transition out.  If my husband was into the get togethers than I would be more into it but he's not.  Are you part of an Asian group and how is it going?[/quote]
