Adopted Jewish Children
My husband and I have adopted three children. I am bi-racial and my husband is white; we were both raised in Orthodox homes, and are raising our children the same. All three attend an Orthodox day school and are very much accepted as members of the community. My son just became a Bar Mitzvah and his speech had the whole Shul in tears. His Torah portion was Lech Lecha, when Abraham became a Jew! He compaired himself with Abraham, Circumsion, moving to a new place and changing his name and he brought the house down! Remember, Jew's come in all colors! Teach your children to be proud of who they are, both their religion and their ethnicity and they will grow up to be positive Jewish adults no matter what they look like! Yaakov, our son, wants to be an Orthodox Rabbi here in america; and knowing him he will be! Know that once they are converted they are JEWS!
B'shalom,
