Yep, ages 5 and 2, half Vietnamese. Only been married for less than a year.

I wouldn't have thought there would be problems in this day and age either, but I've been stunned by the number of strangers who will just walk up to you in the grocery store and ask "When did you adopt?" or "Where's her real family?" And that doesn't even count all the people who just stare. One woman obliquely accused us of kidnapping once.
