[QUOTE="kris, post: 11653, member: 74"] <font color="purple">vicki, no one has to have pointed out to aly that she looks different from her adoptive family. all she has to do is look in the mirror. this is not an issue in just biracial families. many adoptees look different from their adoptive families....they know it & they often become preoccupied by it. i know you've done all the books, explanations & those things. i have another thought tho. have you involved other african americans in her life....in a more than superficial basis....or as therapeutic support. IOW, does she attend a church that is predominently AA? is there any AA family you would feel comfortable reaching out to for support....people that would be able to help aly get in touch with-her AA self?? people who would be strong AA role models for her? is there any biracial adoption community in your area you could reach out to? kris </font> [/QUOTE]
