Recently I was interviewed for a research study on international adoption. One of the questions the researcher asked was whether any of my children seem to struggle with their self-image/esteem because they are A.) Adopted, and B.) Transracially Adopted.
I gave her that "you've-got-to-be-kidding-me" look.
Consider the evidence--
Mia: Gracie, what is something you are really good at?
Grace: Mowing the lawn.
Mom: What?! When have you ever mowed a lawn? Did you 'help' Daddy mow the lawn?
Grace: No. But when I grow up I will mow lawns and I will be VERY good at it.
