I agree! We are not adopting internationally, but race was an issue for us when we first began the adoption process. As time passed, and I realized how much I just wanted to be a mommy, race became less and less of an issue. I believe if you help to create a positive self identity in your child, he/she will stand more confident in situations where others are unaccepting.
I HIGHLY recommend the book
Does Anyone Else Look Like Me: A Guide to Raising Multiracial Children. This will help with addressing some of those issues.
