I don't think your kids would feel weird, but you probably need to be a little more open/educated about race. You say your "american" but that doesn't make your family bi-racial. Many people of mexican decent are american. I assume what you mean is that you're white. If you are realistic about your own views on race, that will help your children (bio and adopted) handle things better. Since your kids already have a mexican dad, I don't think it would be hard at all to have a mexican sibling.
If you are planning to adopt a child in mexico - there were only about 100 children adopted from mexico to the US last year. That makes me think it isn't very easy. i was reading that there is a 6 mo initial period where you would need to live in mexico with the child, but it can be waived by a judge. If you want to adopt a mexican child in the US, foster care is probably the best way. |
