If you are adopting from China, and use the word ‘China doll’ in reference to your future daughter, and don’t know what is wrong with that…… Please, please take this time in the ever lengthening wait to READ SOME BOOKS on transracial/transnational adoption. Please read blogs about being anti-racist, please read the perpectives of adult adoptees (even if you don’t like what they have to say, and want to dismiss them as ‘bitter’ or ’angry’). Please stop saying China doll, I mean really. Are you serious? Don’t objectify your kid with a label that you think is cute and endearing. It’s not.
I’m just sayin’
