Excellent point--my daughter is going to have more in common with the little girls adopted from China by white parents than she will with Indian girls raised by Indian parents.

I do realize that we need to incorporate Indian culture into our family -- we do a little now, though not nearly enough, but we're hoping to spend a year living in India when she is older. We certainly intend to go back every few years to visit.
