Shell be a jew to the rabbi but what about the jewish community? Will she be accepted as a regular jew as we are? Will parents want their kid to marry a white even if shes a jew? Many told us beforehand to adopt a girl that looks jewish but we felt differently.

Like several others said, not to worry. There are pleny of Jews here in the USA with fair complexions, light hair and blue eyes. I can't imagine that Israel, with all of the immigrants from Eastern Europe, does not have a good amount of the same.
My mother has fair skin, red hair, and blue eyes - she doesn't "look Jewish." But spend 30 minutes with her and you'll have no doubt.
