Oh man.  As the adoptive parents of two boys (now mature adults) who were 
born in Viet Nam and two disabled youngsters, daughter born in Mexico and 
African 
American son, I know all about attempts to provide appropriate cultural input 
for adoptees.

Guess what?  Can't be done!  We tried - decided it was better to gather them 
in and make them ours than to remind them how "different" they are from the 
neighbor kids.

So, the Icelandics have been gathered in - no attempts to provide appropriate 
Icelandic cultural experiences will be made, however interesting I may find 
it.
