I would edit it to say, members of the "older" LDS generations, will have a rougher time being accepting of a trans-racial family. There is a lot of intolerance in that older generation. I think your peers will be fine with it, curious, but fine. I grew up in a teeny town and the only kids of a different race in my school, were LDS and adopted...and were QUITE popular. I never saw evidence of unacceptance in our town, which by all stereotypes, should have been the most likely to reject a transracial family.
