Our adopted daughter is 6 and just finished K. It has been a rough year in many ways. Here are a few examples:
Being teased and told I was not her real mom.
Having her called the N word by another black child
Her telling me she wants a black mom and if I die she will get one.
S being told she is not Native American, white and black - she is just black.
Was told I didn't really love her because I am not her real mom.
I could go on but that is a few of the things that have come up.
Yes when she was young we had some comments and rude looks. We always dealt with it at the time. The past few months she has said some really mean things to me regarding her not wanting me to be her mom because I am white. What I find interesting is she never talks about the fact her Dad is also white. It is like a non issue.
