[quote=NovasMom] 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! [quote]
My bio son has red hair and tons of freckles....he looks nothing like me OR his father OR anyone else in the family. Every time we go out he gets asked some variation of "Where'd ya get that red hair???" or (to me)"Does his father have red hair?" or "where'd ya get all those freckles?!?" I would imagine if he were adopted i would freak out and consider it an intrusive adoption-related question. As it is, its just something we deal with. I am surprised though, that more people don't stop themselves from commenting, or assume that maybe he is adopted or something. But nope. And the questioning has increased as he's gotten older, i don't remember much of it when he was a baby (then again, he had alot less hair!)
