[Somerset]

I'm kind of joinging in late and I have by no means read all the posts in this thread, but for God's sake, children are not flavors of ice cream. Making a family is not like making a sundae, you don't go around picking which colors match best. And for the love of all that is holy, once you have adopted the child, she is your child, she is from wherever you are from, wherever you raise her. You can't use the child to somehow make you more connected to some "exotic" place because you're bored of being lily white and from Bevery Hills.
Now, I'm going to stand in the corner and try to avoid being hit in the face by a big pile of shit.
