Exactly what I was thinking, McKenna. I certainly don't want to associate with people who judge others on the color of their skin--whether or not they're my children. If I had caucasian children I wouldn't permit them to set foot in a house where the adults thought that people of color were criminals.
to the original poster: Not everyone is cut out to handle the amount of attention you get when you have a racially mixed family. DH and I existed pretty unobtrusively until we adopted our daughter who was born in India. Now everyone recognizes us. We've lost our anonymity. I wouldn't say people stare -- not in a hostile way -- we've never felt negative attention, just attention--much of it enthusiastically positive. It's not a situation that everyone can handle. People know automatically that our family was formed through adoption.
