I have friends who have eight each, some adopted and some home grown. They are all different shades of the rainbow, ranging from very Caucasian to very dark. One of my friends was in a restaurant, with her children but without her husband, and the waitress was very confused.

Finally she asked the requisite "Are all these yours?"My friend, "Yes." "Is your husband black?" My friend said, "No."The waitress was really confused, but I guess couldn't figure out any other possibilities, so she just shut up. I told her she should have said, "No, but all these children have different fathers."

One good response would have been - "Is your husband black? No but I am."

A couple we lived near a few years ago adopted I believe 4 bi-racial children from crisis situations. They are an amazing couple. It's so nice to see somebody extending the beautiful love of a family to those who may not have ever had a chance without adoption.
