Ha ha -- We live in an area of W. Michigan which an enormous Dutch heritage population (i.e. Holland Mi, Zeeland Mi, etc. etc.). Blonde, blue-eyed children are the norm, except for some reason, there's also seems to be a lot of people who have adopted Asian children. Every year, during "Tulip time", the front of the Holland Sentinal newspaper inevitably features children dressed in adorable Dutch costumes and wooden shoes. Nine times out of ten, the little face(s) are almond eyed and black-haired. I don't know if they purposely try to find an Asian child to photograph or what. My co-worker with (4) adopted Korean children has had every single one of them photographed in their Dutch Dance costumes in the newspaper during Tulip Time one year or another. Tim (my husband) and I are now rather biased and find the blue-eyed blondes cherubs rather, well, boring. <wink> -- Renee M. in sunny 60 degree Michigan!
