what a beautiful child

Your picture is absolutely stunning. I live out west and my daughter is primarily Guatemalan Indian. She is the only non caucasian child at her daycare and she is loved by all. If she hears the word "cute" she immediately turns her head . I think the big question for me would be how would I feel about adopting a child who is asian or caucasian or african or latino or Indian or Filipino or Haitian etc. I would go by my gut level feeling.
No situation is absolutely perfect. We had friends who told us they didn't adopt (they remain childless) because they thought our region in the west was too white. Well, whatever, I just plan to help my daughter develop good self esteem and enjoy her life but hope to keep the lines of communication open regarding any issues she may have along the way.
Good luck!
