[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole situation is so sad for Veronica, and there is no doubt she will eventually return to the adoptive family.  Equally upsetting is there is no doubt that the adoptive family will strip this little girl of both her true heritages.  Hopefully, as she gets older she will diligently seek out who she is ethnically.  That is something the adoptive family CANNOT take from her no matter how anyone tries to paint her.[/quote]

Isn't her bio dad something like 1/32 Cherokee? Honestly, at some point, it's little ridiculous the degree to which someone's heritage is suddenly relevant. I hope Veronica finds an identity that is hers to seek out, hers to define, and nobody else's to decide for her.[/quote]Identity is who she is ethnically.  Definition of her intellectually and emotionally is something else and has nothing to do with her ethnicity.[/quote]

It doesn't matter - that's still Veronica's choice how to define herself when she's older. Not her Mr. Brown, not the Cherokee Nation, not her Hispanic bio mom, and not the Capobianco's. [/quote]The government will define her by the little box that she will need to check off defining who she is. [/quote]

You don't need to check off one box, ever. As someone who's also multi-racial, I don't remember the last time I was required to pick a box. [/quote]
