Here's some good stuff-I seem to be dwelling on all the negative.
I also have a younger brother who is also adopted from India. Growing up, when our parents introduced us to people, people would think it is really cool that we're all a family. My adoptive parents got a lot of positive compliments about us!
My brother loves to play sports. A lot of guys think that because he's brown, that he is really good at basketball. That works to his advantage during games.
Sometimes it is nice, because I look like no one else-I am an individual. I stick out among blonds and brunettes. I don't have to highlight my hair or put a lot of makeup on to distinguish myself from other girls.
A really cool thing about not looking like my parents, is that when they'd embarrass themselves in public, my brother and I could just give them blank looks like, "Do I know you?" and casually walk away! Noone would know we were related. It's hilarious.
When are you going to get your US citizenship? It probably won't be for a while, and adopting from India takes a long time, but it is worth it.
