[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With adoption there is no genetic link, so no matter what the kid is not going to look like you. Race is just pigment on skin. Kids do not look like their adoptive parents.
No need for anyone to "have to look" like their parents.
There are thin children in fat families, brown in white, tall in short etc.
All depends on if you choose to make it into a problem or not[/quote]

Actually, it's very possible to have an adopted child look like you.  I have one and not only does she look like me (she and I are the sane race), she looks a lot like her brother, who is half her race.  People ask me often if they're twins.[/quote]

Exactly.  Our child looks and acts like us.  We share a lot of personality and physical characteristics as her birthparents so that could be a strong reason why, but regardless, in less we tell people, people have no clue we adopted.[/quote]

Ditto.  Adopted child is the spitting image of me at that age.[/quote]
