[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, OP here. Thank you for those of you that gave some insight to your experience. We (DH and I) were just curious and looking for some feedback. We don't care what her race is, and as she gets older if it becoming obvious that she may be multiracial, we may pursue a DNA test so that we can properly celebrate her heritage. 
We are not trying to hide anything from our child, the mother was an IV drug user who overdosed hours after delivery. She had no prenatal care therefore we have very limited information other than what her cord blood tested positive for. We don't even truly know how far along she was gestation wise. It's only an estimate. 
We did the newspaper ad. 
Again, thank you for the feedback.[/quote]

OP, just so you know, you can link your post in website feedback if you'd like to lock it and end the discussion.  I'm not sure how helpful the majority of posts have been.

Genetics are interesting and people don't always look like their ancestral roots.  You may want to join an adoption support group.  There are others out there who have about the same information as yourself on a child's background.  Down the road, if certain things emerge like your DD has hair that's different from your own, and you need guidance on how to do hair, you could reach out to a group like Mocha Moms for advice and support.

Congratulations on becoming a mom.[/quote]

Your post makes no sense.  OP adopted.  There are no shared genetics and DD hair and other features should look different in less she looks like the birthparents.  OP did a shady adoption by not getting the BF consent (most birth mom's know and the agencies and attorneys tell them not to disclose as it makes the adoption process easier).[/quote]

You people are bizarre.

The OP adopted the orphaned child of a dead drug addict.

Mom may have been hooking for drugs and probably legitimately had no idea nor care about whom she was having sex with.

The adoption certainly sounds non-traditional… but shady come on… how many people here would give a baby with that kind of genesis a chance at a decent life?

OP probably had a big heart and is brave and heroic. If nothing else she certainly much less judgmental than you. [/quote]
