This can be a repeated for biracial babies, black babies adopted by white parents,etc.

They're telling us that's one thing to watch out for with our adoption from China. They say at some point she will probably express the wish that she looked like mommy and daddy. I'm a bit concerned; so far, all I've been able to preplan is a line about how "they don't make princesses in America, so we had to go where they do to find you." If that won't satisfy her, I don't know what I'll do.

You will tell her you love her enough to have gone half way around the world to bring her home to her true parents!

The color of her skin and the shape of her eyes have nothing to do with love. She just came to Earth in the wrong place, and you still found her...

She can search for her birth parents later...for now, you have a job to do.

I would not worry. The best part of my childhood is that my parents didn't burden me with race issues. I am of a very mixed racial background and had all kinds of dolls. My mom didn't do this on purpose though, just whatever they had on the shelf. Just like I had a white cabbage patch kid, and I rememebr the black kids in the neighborhood could care less which color cababage patch it was. I never compared myself to anyone until I got older, but that's just us women being catty :-) Besides if she starts asking questions you can always say exactly what you said. It ought to be age appropriate.
