[quote=Anonymous]Hi! I'm a divorced, single mom of a beautiful adopted daughter. My ex and I adopted her from China in 2006 when she was 11 months old. She is now 12 years old. We are white and our small, rural town is probably 99% white. She has friends here of all colors, some adopted, some not. She's had a few questions about her eyes and her "real" mom but for the most part, no issues. She does keep in touch with other girls from our adoption group - we traveled in a group of 16 families and she keeps in touch by group text with about 6 other girls. Her dad remarried and they have a 3 year old girl. My daughter was THRILLED because she always wanted a sister, but being a preteen now, her little sister gets on her nerves and "gets her in trouble" at her dad's. She adores her though, they face time and get together more than the biweekly visits. I believe her stepmom may favor the baby, and it shows, but I honestly feel that's just because she's her "baby." We have talked about it. My daughter has never been treated differently on either side of the family. I would say all grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. love all the children equally. If I was ever blessed with another child, bio, adopted, step, I am sure my heart would only grow to love more! I can't imagine feeling differently about any of them. If you want to parent another child and expand your family, I would say go for it! Your concerns are understandable, but children are such blessings! I wish you and your family well!  :) [/quote]
