[quote=Anonymous]OP, surely you knew that adopting someone from another race would provoke questions, both kind and compassionate, as well as rude and intrusive. I would like to say people will just sit there and not say a word, but you must must must gird yourself with a better outlook. Your stance is so rigid and well, unrealistic, that I am afraid YOU are setting up the issue, not strangers. I would join a group of other parents in the same boat and find out how to make peace with this issue. Your energy, openness, and acceptance of your decisions needs to sit better with you, and you need to get there...quick. Is it tiring to hear the same questions? Surely. But the defensiveness invites more of it... PLEASE please....you adopted a child who looks different than you....don't sweep it under the rug or get offended. As the PP stated, be proud and brief. Get support. Your child will suffer for your attitude otherwise.[/quote]
