We adopted domestically, but otherwise our story is similar. My wife received one glower from an old guy in a grocery story. For all I know, he may have been glowering because our eldest child (also adopted) is Caucasian, and he might have thought that my wife was going from man to man.

She also had two black women in her 30s or so THANKING her (no thanks needed, we LIKE having children!). Both incidents happened in Rockford, which should have as much racial tension as any city by common folklore, given the lawsuits of the past.

I'm rarely home in Pocatello since Obama's election wiped out my contracts. While I was home, my wife and I would go out to eat at various restaurants in town. A Caucasian couple with two very young black girls had similar tastes in dining. While I was home for Christmas this year, I saw the mom and two young lades shopping at Fred Meyer's. They are both doing well and significantly older now. There won't be much "black experience" in Pocatello. I would be surprised if we have 50 black people in town...most are recruited football and basketball players at Idaho State.

Congrats on your success adoption experience.
