I am the parent of a biracial DD (we are cauc). Frankly, I did not expect her to look anything like us. She looks so much like us, so you may be "surprised" that you will STILL not get adoption related questions. You really never know.

I was reading a good book the other day, "Does Anyone Else Look Like Me?" about parenting multiracial children. I would really recommend it. One of the author's points (which frankly has my head spinning as I am trying to decide whether to adopt again/go through IF treatments, etc.) is that it would be beneficial for a biracial child to have ANOTHER biracial child in the family to share experiences with, etc. But I think you are lucky in the sense that you have other extended family members to look to, etc.

I wish you a lot of luck. I think you will know the right decision for you!!
