I have 1 guatemala princess and 3 adopted children from foster system my youngest son is american indian(looks very much guatemalan) and my older son is blonde hair, very light skin you get the picture. We had the same thing happen at day care exept my boys where older 6 & 9 but, I was standing right in front of them while the comment was made he is not your bother. I have always told my childern that adoption is special and we choose you, which makes you special. It was cute to watch as my older son then 9 tells this other boy "yes we are bothers and we are adopted, my parents choose us and that makes us special".It was so cute to watch and I can remeber it like it was yesterday my boys are know 11 & 13. I wish I could tell you it only happen once but, as they got older every know and then it still comes up but, while I was writing this I ask my boys what helps when people ask them that question and they told me it is that comment that I tell them "we are adopted and my parents choose me and that makes me special"
I hope this helps it worked for us.
