Both children were adopted from Latin America.

Do I just have no eye for ethnicity, or don't the kids look more Northern European than Latin? They don't look Hispanic or Indian, and I don't think blond hair is frequent even among the white upper class to our South.

Watch, somebody will dig up or fake something unsavory about the adoption agency's methods. I suppose "glutton for punishment" must be added to the requirements for any Supreme Court nominee.>>>>>>>>


Just curious, why, or how are they from Latin America? Maybe I'm just ignorant, there must be a lot of white folks down there.

I worked with a lady whose daughter and son-in-law adopted 2 kids from Columbia. The girl has black hair but the mom is Italian so she really blends into the family. The boy is very dark tho, like a native. They were ecstatic just to be able to be parents.

There is an association made up of parents who have adopted children from Latin America. There are people from Scandinavian countries who do so also. It's all about wanting children and loving them. It's called LAPA, and IMO they should be vocal about this. I'll do some research.

You obviously haven't traveled that much in Latin America, where names like Edwards, Schultz, and Brown are common among the upper class of certain countries. To say nothing of the fact that folks of Basque and Galician ancestry are often blonde or red headed. I can introduce you to several blonde, blue eyed Cuban Americans in Miami if you wish.
