"Mom, Lilly's mom looks like Chinese."
"Yes, Lilly's mom is Asian like you, but she is from Korea. She is Korean."
"Oh. Then who was Lilly's mom when Lilly was born?"
"Her mom was Jin, just like now."
"Oh. But I had a different mom."
Then Xanthe didn't have any more questions, which was good, because I didn't have any more answers. I wish a part of me were Chinese...for Xanthe.

My heart goes out to you. This is something we will deal with for life. Luckily Xanthe has a great mom!
