Our is a mixed marriage - my husband is Australian and I'm Singaporean, so our biological son looks like us but Eurasian. We are planning to adopt an Asian baby, and have been worried about the baby getting "stares" because he/ she will look different. Thanks for showing that it can be done successfully. Would love to hear more adoption stories... This account made my eyes misty with happiness.

I cried through that whole post. We have one picture of my brother with his foster mother (also through Holt!). There was such obvious tenderness and love about her. I'm sure your son's foster mother also felt she'd been given a great gift! Oh, what a precious, precious gift you have given your sons! I cried through that whole post.

Having just spent time with my older daughter's foster family in China - and our having experienced an incredible and very positive reunion - I couldn't believe what this woman was saying. She told us that such interaction will only 'confuse the adopted child', and that it will cause the adopted child to be unsure of 'who to love'. I wish I were making this up, but sadly I am not. I am really appreciative of your post; thank you so much for sharing. :o) I recently attended a lecture given by a Pediatric Psychologist, in which the ped. psych. told us (a group of parents who had adopted from China & Korea) that adopted children really shouldn’t have any relationship with birth or foster families.
