Elite Malays tend to be fair skinned. <br />I'm just glad to hear that adoption is happening at all, given the difficulties of adoption in Muslim law.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383760837701581819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-80410582971639637512011-05-24T11:25:59.455-05:002011-05-24T11:25:59.455-05:00I found this incredibly sad.

She claimed no one in her line of ancestors had dark complexion and she did not want to break the pattern." <br /> <br />Wow. Just wow. She doesn't seem to understand that the pattern would be broken regardless if the child had a lighter complexion. I'd like to say to her, "It's DNA, dummy, and any child you adopt WON'T be part of your ancestors!!" <br /> <br />I have issues with adopters being choosy. I mean, really? A PAP should be capable of unconditional love for a ANY child. Not just the cute ones. Besides- not all cute babies turn out to be cute adults- and vice versa, lol.Real Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361127479878590761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-91936563532603344372011-05-23T13:23:13.453-05:002011-05-23T13:23:13.453-05:00All I can say is - would the social standards be d...All I can say is - would the social standards be different for a [kept] child who was birthed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-52365634505781620412011-05-23T09:54:02.161-05:002011-05-23T09:54:02.161-05:00Difficult to judge someone else's culture.
