I am sure the waitress was tryi...Aw, I am so sorry. I am sure the waitress was trying to be friendly however in a world of such a diversity within families & Asian children adopted as well, It is a bit rude to ask such a question. I think people should be a little more sensitive to those kind of comments. I understand how you must feel about Abigail always getting the compliment or noticed because I get that often with my 2 daughters Ava & Abby. Abby is so sweet and has the biggest heart ever!! Like ever! She is care taker and is such a lovable person. Always asking if I need help! Always anticipating the needs of others and joyfully in hurry to help her sibblings or anyone at all! Anything you ask her to do, she always gives her all!!! She is my nurturer. Loves to drink tea with me & enjoys setting the dinner table. Her heart is huge! And then there is Ava who is just naturally talented at EVERYTHING! She is super neat, tidy & meticulous. Her room is never ever messy. She can read a Harry Potter novel in a matter of a few days! She is smart.. like gifted & talented smart! She is just one of those kids who shines at everything she does. You can ask her to do a job and her mediocre attempts outshine my Abby's best. But I know they are both just as special! And because I am Abby's mother & I know her on a more personal level.. I know that Abby many times puts more heart & soul into things than my Ava does but unless you knew her like I know her than my poor Abby goes unnoticed. And to me the effort & love that is put behind something means so much more!!! Plus it does not help that Abby may have a form of dyslexia (still being tested but very like has it) They are only a year apart & are very close... Anyway, Even my own family does it to my girls sometimes without even realizing it & it makes me feel sad. Here's an example.. My girls like to sing and dance, you know "put on a show" whenever we have company. Abby tries her best and is so sweet. And then there is Ava.. Suddenly Ava is performing and it's "Oh let me get that on video!" Or "Oh, Lisa you should really put Ava in theatre!" Or "She is so talented!" RIGHT INFRONT of my Abby :( Or people will say, "Oh her eyes, that Ava is a beauty" but nothing about Abby.. No matter what, Ava always, always, always get the compliments in everything & everywhere we go. So I totally know how that feels. I have tried to talk to my family about it or make it a point to make sure I praise Abby as much as I can but I totally do not like or think it is nice to openly praise or compliment another child infront of another child and the not say anything good about the other kids. Aw, well hugs! And it's a blessing that Anna has parents like you & Scott who consciously make an effort every day to build her up and to feel strong and important and know that God made each and everyone of us special and unique! How boring if we were all the same ;) Our most important qualities & "gifts" that we possess are the ones that come from within.. outward beauty will will fade but what is within us lasts forever!
