[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your last name might give it away.[/quote] DS is adopted, American last name.[/quote] Same situation. Very European last name, adopted Asian child. We told him to just check “prefer not to say”. I think objectively for adoptees their experience of race is complicated so it didn’t feel disingenuous. “Prefer not to say” is our son’s equivalent of “it’s complicated and I don’t fit well in a single box”.[/quote] The adopted kids, we know who talked about their Asian identity in a majority white family did very well last cycle in the admissions process. That is a diverse experience that not very many people have. Very unique lens from which to view the world and should not be hidden.[/quote]
