“Sorry but I am just leery of the whole “adopt a foriegn child” thing,...”
I’m with you on that. I don’t understand people like Laura Ingraham who adopted a Mexican girl and a Russian boy. A hundred years ago when American citizens considered themselves Americans, no problem. But now it seems that most people from a foreign country identify first with that country instead of America, no matter how their adoptive parents raise them. Just my opinion, I could be wrong...
We met our adopted daughter when she was ten, and she became a member of our family when she was 11. We have the Ukrainian flag in her room and I speak a little Russian (she's ethnically Russian) and have encouraged her to be bilingual. Now I speak more Russian than she does, and she is 100% pure blooded American. She is a rabid University of Kentucky fan (which breaks my heart) and she even dislikes Obama. Can you believe it? So, yes, you might be wrong ;>)
