So far my child is kind of young for school. She is enrolled in a mommy and me class at our local synagogue. The Rabbi and the shul knows that she is adopted, but I really dont know if the teacher does know. So far she luckily hasnt shown any need for special ed or special services, so I havent had to bring up the adoption part. I think I"m not going to mention it, however, if it does come up at some point, I won't keep it a secret either.
As I have mentioned to the board, my child is of Roma heritage(at least 1/2 Roma). She can pass as a caucasian child who has olive skin. Many folks say she looks like my bio child. I have dark features but fair skin. I think as a result, when I have to fill out forms for her I will just put "caucasian." If she were darker complected and it were more obvious, then I would think harder about how to classify her.
