We have a 9 yo bio dd and two adult children who don't live with us from my dh's first marriage. None of them have a problem with their differences. They all have different colored eyes and hair. We have been raising 9 yo dd to be "color-blind" since she was born. To her, skin color is no different than eye or hair color. It is not a big deal. Marisol is 2 and we do talk about adopting her and how God had her waiting for us in Guatemala. It is cute how she says "Gotta-malla" The only comments we usually get about her is how beautiful she is..so for us not a big deal.
