Our country needs to talk about race and racism, if we keep ignoring it, it will never get better.Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15753749864631243159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925959104562250919.post-20272179816575208882012-10-30T11:54:18.386-07:002012-10-30T11:54:18.386-07:00What a great post!

I really wish people would accept that just because there's a question in their heads, doesn't mean they have the right to ask it aloud (i.e. "where's his real parents?"). And I totally agree with you that people sometimes have legitimate reasons for the questions they ask, but, so oftem, it's just because they're being nosey. I compare telling my boy's adoption stories with being asked to share a biological child's conception story. Not an appropriate topic to broach! Same with adoption story (unless there's a valid reason, and it's done in a sensitive manner).Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614553637265139846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925959104562250919.post-16460904425032685972012-10-29T12:20:00.977-07:002012-10-29T12:20:00.977-07:00As a white mom to three African-Americans (not bla...As a white mom to three African-Americans (not black Americans, actual Africans - totally agree w/ you there), one of my biggest concerns is ashy skin. My youngest, now 7, gets really grey legs if he forgets to put on lotion daily. I won't leave the car w/o making sure his skin is actually black. ;)<br />Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13910562548296620853noreply@blogger.com
