My husband and I are both caucasian--our sons are from El Salvador and the Phillipines. Everyone we meet thinks THEY are biological brothers and look like BOTH me and my husband. We are flattered as both boys are extremely handsome! In general you will always meet STUPID people who will open their mouths and insert their feet. We live in an area where Africian Americians are not accepted--but both of our boys are well liked and chased after by the girls--while local people with mixed race grandchildren are threatened if their grandchildren visit them in this county. Go figure? We did not know this when we moved here, and we had almost adopted a 3yr old black/white mixed little girl, but it fell though. So we do feel the same. But we love the mountains, and our sons are accepted here, so we overlook some of the dumb people in the area. With your genetics--a birth child from the two of you would be more likely to look like you than your husband anyway--just like your friend. When someone says something stupid to you--just tell your husband to smile and say " Thank you-- We are glad you think our children look as beautiful as their mom! " My husband tells everyone the boys get their looks from him and their brains from me! Hope this is helpful, and good luck on your adoption.
