Sorry to disagree, but I don't understand the mentality of the youngster's adoptive parents. It appears they can't accept her as the genuine article. If she's had a kosher conversion, she's Jewish without proviso. Yin yang yamulkas, lo mein for the kids, Chinese lanterns - these all spell bigrotry and rejection to me. Isn't there a halacha that forbids refering to a ger as a ger?
Her parents should throw out their discomfort and accept her for what they want their child to be - a Jew! Just wait until she grows up, and wakes up.
On a related but digressive note, let's drop the term 'Chinese auction'. It appears to me that synagogues are fond of using this device as a fundraising effort. I think the term stinks from bigotry!
