Caitlin Wong,
USA.
I am a White American woman who relatively recently started seeing a Chinese man. He was born and raised in American, but he is not biracial. It’s a fairytale romance – I am in love and I couldn’t be happier. At first it surprised me that we got stares, especially in New York City. I don’t really notice it anymore. I know it might be vain, but I worry about the children we’re going to have. I worry that people will look at them, and look at me, and ask where I adopted them from. I do not have anything against adoption – but I just know that I am living in a world where I will have to defend being their mommy – and they will have to do the same on their side. It breaks my heart.
