This is one of the best reads I've had in a long time. It deals with an issue that I don't think we have thought nearly enough about while going through the adoption process, and that is how to handle comments like:

Is that your daughter?
Is the father Oriental?
Where are her parents?
Your daughter, how much was she?

I laughed, I got mad, and I got a sick feeling in my stomach at different times as I read the article. My overwhelming feeling however, after reading it just a few minutes ago, is how much I love my daughter already. No matter who she is, where she is, or what she looks like. I can't wait to hold her. I want to watch her growup, I want to be there for her when she deals with this kind of stuff. I want her to see that I love her no matter what and that some people in the world are just really dumb. I'd like to see her kick some dummy in the shins who asks a dumb question.....
