[quote=Anonymous]We adopted from Latin America and our DS celebrated his Bar Mitzvah this past summer. He has attended Jewish overnight camps and continues to go to religious school. Whether he will identify as Jewish when he's an adult is ultimately his decision. This is not an issue only for adopted kids -- in the US, lots of people leave (and also enter) Judaism at various stages of their life. All we can do as parents - adoptive or otherwise - is teach our children about religion and our values. Becoming a Bar Mitzvah was a meaningful experience for our son. We also embrace his culture of origin and integrate, in our case, aspects of Latino identity/foods into our Jewish life -- this is easy to do because there are, in fact, Jewish communities throughout Latin America. Finally, Jews come in all colors in the US (and in Israel) these days. Good luck, OP![/quote]
