I have a question:

I understand how a white kid raised by black parents could feel like she is black and vice versa. The kid will take on characteristics of their adoptive parents. In a loving family who cares about skin colour right?

I can also understand that a child lost in the woods and raised by wolves might grow to think he is a wolf.

Soooo. my question and it might start a fire here... what is going to happen to kids who are raised by gay parents??
Nothing. Black kids who were raised by white families don't see themselves as white. Society still treats them as black. Most children of gay parents are straight, with a similar percentage of those kids coming out as gay as in general society.

And I have white people in my family who look like her. My cousins are often mistaken for black or mixed race, but they are 100% Ukrainian, Polish, and Lithuanian Jews. My great grandfather could have passed for a light-skinned black man, but was born to two Jewish parents in a shtetl in Ukraine.

Genetics are funny things.

She should get one of those DNA tests from 23 and Me or Ancestry. I guarantee she is some black genes.

Maybe her mother and the man she was married to were white but the father may be black, hence the adoption.

The same goes for a kid raised by wolves. The kid wouldn't look like a wolf but he would certainly act like one.
SO if a child is raised by gay parents there will be traits handed down to that kid up to preferring the same sex partner.
Most gays are raised by straight parents who are most likely christian. So why aren't they straight? My god.

The whole story is fishy it's hard to really tell what her father looked like from that faded picture she looks mixed, the man pictured may not even be her father. I also doubt in the 1940's in Texas a white baby would have been given to a black couple to adopt. Anyway she believes the story and is now convinced she's actually white LOL .
