my hubby has an idea to adopt this baby, while me still in consideration mode, financial thing not an issue since we can guarantee this baby will have good and proper life & living.
My doubt coming when I seeing me & hubby so different in physical term compare to the baby. Baby belong to Caucasian features that has no representative from us.
I do concern with what happens in short future specially when he already become teenager, ie :
1. Crisis of Identity
2. Lack of confident
3. Hate or feeling embarrassed to us as his parent
4. etc
many negative thing frighten me a lot due those physical features different, because for me its not just physical appearance, beyond that we will dealing with psychological effect.
Am I sensible for you or I just to much ? please give me your opinion


Peace
