I feel like we would need to learn about/hear from crosscultural adoptees to really talk about this?
Well, my crackerasscracker family has two adopted cousins, one Mexican. She defenitly went through several super-embracing-Mexicanosity periods throughout her life. She once told me even as a little girl, before she knew she was.adopted, she knew she was different and never felt right singing Danny Boy with our clan.
Danny boy is our family banshee anthem, my mother thought hearing it heralded a death in the family so we get anxious when it starts up remembering mum screeching at us to turn the Radio/Tv/Ice-Cream Van/Passing marching band off.
