Hi, I am not an adoptive mom, so maybe this topic is old news or of little interest. Nevertheless, I am the mother of a biracial child, and there is a pretty good book available for families who are various races due to adoption or interracial marriages. It's called "Does Anybody Else Look Like Me? A Parent's Guide to Raising Multiracial Children" by Donna Jackson Nakazawa. For anyone wanting more information, there is also a good panel interview with the author and others archived on the Ntl. Public Radio website, or at least there was in fall 2003.

I found it difficult to find a parenting book on this topic as opposed to a sociological treatise, so I was happy to find this book. If you doubt that you will need this book, well, wait until the first "Oh, she doesn't even look Chinese/black/Hispanic" comment and then imagine what kids will be asking and saying when your child enters school. You need to have a response.
