Question about bullying

IdigDirt

I really never thought about this until I was talking to my parents about thinking about fostering. My mom told me that my cousin who was adopted from China (as an infant, raised in a primarily Jewish neighborhood) has been horribly bullied for most of her life. She is 15 now and is saying she is transgendered. Of course she may be but this could also maybe stem from the bullying.

They also told me about their friend (also Jewish) who foster to adopted a little boy who is African American. They told me that he is horribly bullied because of it as well.

Is this something that worries you? Have you experienced it? Any good stories of kids being kind and not a$$holes to adopted kids who don't look just like their parents? I am so worried about this even though I know it's not something that should be concerning me right now.
