So here's the conversation we have about our son in China.
Chinese friend: Is he your son?
Us: Yes
Friend: Impossible. He's so black.
Us: Yes, he's adopted.
Friend: He's what?
Us: Adopted
Friend: What?
Us: Adopted, like from an orphanage (even though he's not)
Friend: Ohhhhh! You have such good hearts.
Us: Thank you
Friend: So what country is he from? India?
Us: No, he is American.
Friend: Impossible. He's so black.
Us: Yes, his birth father is black and his birth mother is . . .
Friend: American?
Us: No, they are both American
Friend: (confused look)
Us: He's like Obama.
Friend: Ohhhhhh! He's very smart.
