I remember having those...I *so* know what you mean. I remember having those exact same feelings before we got Joshua. I kept worrying that he would never feel like a "real" part of society...that he would be conflicted about whether he should be "black" or "white," and how to ensure that he is accepted and confident in either "world." I finally just gave it up to the Lord and accepted the fact that I can only do so much. The Lord is ultimately in control of all our kids, and we just have to do our best to provide them with a well-rounded childhood, exposed to all sorts of different cultures and experiences. <br />Oh, and I know what you mean about having a connection to kids with some "color" in them. =) Chris and I both were anxious to adopt a bi-racial or black child, but never felt any desire to adopt white ones...kind of backwards...and probably sounds kind of racist. But, that's how we felt. We would have adopted whomever the Lord wanted us to, but He just happened to bring us mixed kiddos! <br />Sorry that got so long!Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670894338491470873noreply@blogger.com
