It's good you're keeping her in touch with her birth culture. Hopefully that will help her when she's older and goes through the questions many adopted kids do. It will also really help her in the job market. If economic trends stay the way they are, Mandarin will be a very useful skill indeed!
It's cool that you teach her about the culture of her race as well as the American culture. Often times adopted (I'm assuming she's adopted) children completely lose touch with their background due to being raised in a different society. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is cool to see you guys are doin' something different.
Not all people of Chinese descent speak Mandarin, or Cantonese or any other language spoken in China. We are teaching her Mandarin in order to equip her return to China to find her firstparents. (If she wishes.) I was proud she made the connection between the language and the clothing she was wearing for a Chinese cultural event we were about to attend. I thought it was a pretty advanced concept for a 3 year old to grasp. But then, I'm her mom...so I think everything she does is brilliant.
It is so great that you are teaching her to speak Chinese. I don't know that much about the differences or whatever but I'm trying to learn Mandarin and wow is it ever hard! I'm getting there though.
she's a beauty:)

English is her national language. She is an American. She is also learning Chinese as that is her race and her heritage.
