We have ...I do not know if Jada is adopted or not. We have a 6 1/2 year old son that we adopted at six weeks old that is African American. We are white and he is a beautiful dark chocolate brown. When he started going to preschool a few children told him he was the color of mud and they wanted him to be white. He was only 3 1/2 years old. My heart just broke for him. I listened and he finally said to me "Momma, if I'm not brown, I wouldn't be Grady." My heart sang as I saw my sweet boy understand who he was. He looks for brown people where ever we go and we live in a city that is mostly white. It is a challenge but we have grounded him in our Christian faith. It sounds like Jada is getting it too. Your doing a great job.Debbi@Tattered Butterfly Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425656231941116098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590377706568487893.post-38788972212161838872009-03-27T10:02:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:02:00.000-07:00What a heart-wrenching conversation!
