[quote=Anonymous]I think whether or not the child feels accepted by the family is distinct from whether the child feels Jewish. If you emphasize that Judaism is about bloodlines, it will likely cause insecurity in a child who is adopted, esp. If he or she is also not white and therefore, visibly not Ashkenazi. My DC is 49% Ashkenazi via Dad, but visibly not white. Attending shul with grandparents means dealing with a lot of probing questions. Some are well meant, but still intrusive. Others are meant to establish "You aren't really one of us." [/quote]
