I don't even want to know how long it took you to figure that out but thank you so much for sharing! I am DEFINITELY following this! Your flowers looked gorgeous! By the way, as a side note, my sister had her flower bouquets professionally done and sometime between the ceremony and reception they all fell completely apart! Bride's and bridesmaids'! So while my sister, Sandra (the bride) was taking pictures with her husband (minus her bouquet), me and my other sister Lena just broke the remainder of the bouquets apart, spread all the flowers on the hood of the limosine and put them back together as fast as we could so they can be incorporated into more photos. Believe it or not, we did a better job arranging them and securing them than the florist did! Moral of the story: sometimes you can do it better than the professionals... Genius, Sophia!

I'm sure your child will appreciate it, if not right away, at least in the future. In some ways, it's too bad the same lessons every single generation goes through has to be re-learnt by the next, huh? Hmm… wow, good letter Sophia.

It's a shock to their system when that indicator doesn't coincide with what they see (race/ethnicity) so they get very confused. This happens to both Caucasians and Asians alike. As for our future biracial children, I'm hoping to be able to keep my mom's Chinese last name in their middle names. That way, they would be able to keep both since they're from both backgrounds. It does help to get your point of view on this. Thank you! twochicksnest, I agree that the last name is used as an indicator for a lot of people to position themselves with everyone else.
