[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does being adopted have to do with it? [/quote] OP: she is dealing with some issues about this and her thoughts about being petite are exacerbating the situation.[/quote] Is she from an ethnic group where women tend to be petite? Talk to her about genetics in age-appropriate terms. Tell her she's perfect the way she is. Show her examples of women of different sizes and races that achieved big goals through history, teach her it's her heart and mind that will carry her through life, not her physical appearance. And if she's worried about getting a boyfriend, tell her that there are men who are attracted to petite women, and that basic compatibility is the fundament of a relationship anyway, not looks.[/quote]
