Browneyes, do you know one of the reasons that I don't feel comfortable considering modeling for my DD is because it almost feels like i am "exploiting" the birth parents' good looks, kwim? DD doesn't necessarily look like either of them, but man, she really does look like her sisters.
Nat, I hadn't thought about this angle at all, but there may also be a level of "worry" because Cooper is AA? I hadn't really thought about that but I do think adopting transracially (DD is AA/cauc) adds another layer of "can I really be this kid's MOM" insecurity? I think you are more "questioned" than in same-race situations and you want to dig in your heels even further like "HECK YEAH, I'm this kid's mama!"
