I'm glad it went so well! Your son, Keith, sounds like quite a bright, poised boy! Great to hear how open and proud he is about his story and adoption in general--means you must be doing something right in the way you talk about it at home!

I kept thinking how great it would have been all those years ago for me to do this for Nora and John, and kept identifying with the questioning stares of the children. Over the years I kind of stopped noticing, but just a few weeks ago I was somewhere with Nora where I noticed an adults quesitoning look when I casually introduced my 29 year old Nora as my daughter. And how wonderful that Keith understands without question - just like Nora and John seem to. Keith is such a great kid, wish we could see him and all of you more often. Danielle,

I am just tearing up and crying all over the place. You did such a wonderful job researching and planning and executing, I am so impressed. The kids are lucky to have a Mom like you that wants to help smooth their path as well as make the world a better, more embracing place for all kids. Wow.

You did a nice job of explaining that family is really just about people lovign and caring for each other. Keith is still the diplomate, I see. He is not only making it easier for peers to understand the difference in racial makeup is only skin deep and real feelings so deeper, he is paving the way for others to accept all of his siblings. I especially like the reference to Mrs. Bear. I think that really makes the whole idea of adoption understandable for kids. Very infromative.

The more kids know, the less likely they are to make uniformed conclusions that could hurt others.
