I was 6 weeks old when I was adopted. I was 3 when I found out. I was 7 when my parents explained my ethnicity. I am half Taiwanese and half Caucasian (Irish/French Canadian).
My adoptive parents are Chinese/Filipino (Mom) and German/Irish (Dad). It’s interesting to me that I was adopted by people to whom I could easily pass for as their biological child. Being raised in an Asian American household, I’ve always easily identified with my Asian roots, even though I look 100% Caucasian. It’s always been entertaining to have people guess what my ethnicities are and fail. I am proud to be Hapa, and am passing the Asian culture onto my daughter. She’s learning Mandarin.
It’s great that you were adopted into a family that was easy for you to blend into, and it’s wonderful that you are making sure your daughter stays connected with here roots. good job!
