Mixed Heritage
I can understand your desire to want to adopt a filippino/caucasion child b/c of you and your husbands heritage. I am half filippino and my husband is caucasion. We have one biological 3 1/2 year old son. Because of my "strong" genes our son definitely looks more like me (dark brown eyes, brown hair, olive skin, etc.). My husband gets comments all the time about how my son doesn't look anything like him. He even had one stranger come up to him at the playground and said "wow your son looks just like his mother" . . . baffled my husband asked "do you know my wife?" . . . they said "no but he surely doesn't look like you!". So, this just shows that people will say ignorant things and you just have to go with the flow. Goes to show that even though we have a biological child it doesn't mean that we still won't get comments. In addition, we are waiting for our match for a PI little girl . . . and we can't wait!
