We are New Mexicans transplanted to Florida (what were we thinking?) who have never wanted to live anywhere but Colorado. Durango would be our first choice, but DH's job would have us in South Denver. Are there any small towns/communities that have acreage where we could have a few animals (sheep, big dogs, etc.) and are close to open space for hiking and biking? We would, of course, love it if there was something in South Denver area to keep the commute down.
Also, our youngest daughter is Chinese and we are wondering what the racial situation is in Denver. I am *over* the comments I get here in S Fl!
Thanks in advance!

There are two Chinese adoption agencies here and a very active Chinese adoption community. I don't think I have ever enrolled my kids in any program where there wasn't at least one adopted Chinese girl.
Denver is like every other city. Near the city are the older suburbs with smaller homes. Further away are the newer suburbs with large homes. Further away still are farmlands. The suburbs will not allow farm animals and the homes do not have much acreage because we tend to prefer open space. Behind my house, are two distinct biking trails that flow into yet other trails. You can buy a biking trail map of Denver. Check out the Denver biking groups online.
South Denver is the preferable place to be. Check out Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Lonetree and Parker.

Race is open in Denver and for the farm life you have to check with the locals. As the suburbs continue to grow city folks get real nasty about domesticated animals in the backyard

Parker has alot of open space and some areas are zoned for animals or ERIE WOULD ALSO BE A LITTLE MORE OPEN, but your commute would be long Colorado right now like most states is on fire about illegal aliens but no one really cares what race you are as long as you are legal so I WOULD SAY NO WORRIES FOR YOU

I have 4 adopted children, 2 black, 2 caucasion and a nephew who is hispanic. I must say, I have had a few problems, but in general are lives are about 99.9% "race free". We live in south Aurora but have been all over the state.

Unfortunately racism is everywhere. My husband and I are a black/white couple and we have a biracial son. I was called a n...... lover and after hitting the coworker that said that I got fired.(So did she) my point is you have to choose your battles. At the same time teach your child to love and carry god in your heart. At times it's hard I know! Keep your head up and tomorrow is a new day.
