Are you still interested in questions? If you are, I have one. What steps are you taking to find info on L’s birth family? We just brought our son home from China in April and we’re going to send a letter to the man who found him since we have what I hope is a full address for him but after that I’m not sure where to look. We have family in China about 2 hours from our son’s city and I know they would help us but I’m not even sure where to begin.

I have a question. I realize your daughters are still young, so I don’t know if you have formulated thoughts about it. If not, please feel free to ignore the question. However, I am also interested in other posters’ thoughts.
What do you plan to do to “combat” (so to speak) your kids being pursued romantically in the future because they are Asian, and all the stereotypes based on that? I think this is a common problem, more common than most white peole realize.
And in the alternative, not being pursued and ruled out as a romantic partner simply they are Asian.

OK, now I want to hear about your MIL. I would blog about my crazy MIL but my husband reads my blog and would probably not appreciate it.

Any thoughts on what life would be like were you and the family in a more progressive place, like SF? (Asked the lady who moved from Oakland to Florida.) Also, thoughts on whether your background in and position on sex ed have come up at all with M’s friends’ families, or if it’s a non-issue. Lastly, any thoughts on your life and work outside your home (paid, unpaid, volunteer, self-directed, etc.?)
