My mom is half white and half Ghanaian but she has always been familiar and comfortable with her African side. When I was little I thought she was white, and when I got older and found out there where Hispanic people, she looked a lot like them, now she just looks like my mom.[I kind of think that is a big reason why I am so comfortable with the Latin and Spanish communities, now that I think about it.] Plus she is ALWAYS spoken Spanish to, even though she knows of no words in spanish. <br /><br />You do not know how excited I am.<br />I have to tell everybody now.<br />I am serious about that.<br />[I have already told my English teacher about you.]<br /><br />Do you know of the half Spaniard half Ghanaian man who is like a humanitarian? I have tried so hard to look for him and now I feel like he was part of an old dream. I will keep looking though.Valerie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013183791887553967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-80185099990934761302010-04-19T15:42:57.992-07:002010-04-19T15:42:57.992-07:00Congratulations on this next stage of the journey!...Congratulations on this next stage of the journey!

One of my children was born there (the only white one in the clinic). <br /><br />We also have an adopted son who is black, but adoption is getting more common and we haven't experienced anything negative about it from other people.Miss Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601892611652195901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-34383450249874604502010-04-16T10:44:09.476-07:002010-04-16T10:44:09.476-07:00This is so exciting!!

My family is from Thailand and my parents adopted two of my cousins to bring them to the US to give them a better life and education. While I'm their only biological child, I view my cousins as my brother and sister and our love flows much deeper than words. I'll be looking forward to hearing how this adventure turns out for you and I wish your family all the best!Jade @ Tasting Gracehttp://jadekeller.comnoreply@blogger.com
