Am I being offensive?

I have difficulty with this as an adopted person. My ancestry is half Japanese, but I have never had a cultural connection or genetic mirrors. When my son was a newborn he was so beautiful, but definitely had genetic differences than what I was accustomed to seeing growing up in an Ashkanazi/Polish family. I had once said my Japanese ancestors really came back through him as he had dark black hair, almond shaped eyes, and an olive complexion. I didn’t think I was fetishizing or being offensive as those are terms I’ve seen described when learning how to apply make up etc. I’ve been rethinking it, though. I certainly don’t want to be offensive, but being adopted I’ve never had a genetic mirror before so these traits are very precious to me. Having some genetic features from my Japanese ancestry makes me feel connected to my past life/family. Should I just drop the language all together or maybe save it for other adoptees who understand what it’s like being raised in a family where no one quite looks like you?
