Like foxl, my dd was born in India and we are of N. European decent. We've had nothing but positive feedback from family, friends and strangers. Indeed, DH has noticed that women of color are particularly nice to him when he is with dd, who is very dark skinned (darker than your possible referral).
However, being a "mixed" family, we get A LOT of attention. People come up to us in restaurants, give my daughter gifts, compliment us--it's all positive, but it's a little like parenting a celebrity -- people I've never met, recognize our daughter.
When we did our homestudy and the sw asked how we would handle any negativity, I said that I expected very little. I was right, but it can be tough realizing that you are the center of attention.
