[quote=Anonymous]OP may also want to consider moving to a more diverse area. We're a transracial adoptive family living in Arlington and relatively rarely get invasive questions. Wny? Because adoption seems to be quite common around here as a family type. DC's school happens to have a lot of kids whose parents adopted them and that also normalizes the situation on many levels. If you live in an area where an adopted child is "the only one," you're bound to get a lot of intrusive questions. As someone else suggested, OP may want to find a support group for herself to help her work through some of these issues - she might also consider, if she hasn't already done so, finding other adoptive families of kids from China so that her daughter has peers who experience many of the same things. Good luck OP![/quote]
