One thing that I think is really funny is that a lot of people are afraid to adopt kids that are other races because they won't look like them. I think it's kid of funny, because if you adopt a white kid, he or she may not look a thing like you either, and truth be told, your biological kids might not look like you either! What if you and your spouse were both blond haired and blue eyed, and you adopted a white baby with dark brown hair and brown eyes? You'd still get people commenting that they don't look like you. As for me, I think it will be a blessing for my kids not to look like me, or at least I would NOT be crushed if they didn't! I never much cared for my stocky build and my short legs and my utter lack of athletic ability, and I am rediculously nearsighted, practically to the point of being legally blind! So it would be no shame not to pass all of those traits on! I already have on biological daughter, and she is the spitting image of her dad, but not me. Lots of people look at her when she is with me and say, "you must look like your daddy." That is fine with me. I just DON'T get why everyone wants a little clone of themselves! Even your bio kids may look and act nothing like you!
