it might be hard on our kids to be neither one race nor the other.

My mom thinks this way. My own intention is to bring up any children we one day have to be secure enough in themselves that they don't have to rely on racial grouping to form an identity.

As for how society may accept our children, well... has anyone else noticed the large number of pretty biracial children turning up in television commercials, not to mention the number of biracial sports stars? I have a feeling that by the time my children come along, society in general will be quite used to accepting biracial people as an everyday occurence.

to accepting biracial people as an everyday occurence

We already do. Everyone, and I mean everyone! is already part of this and part of that. Doesn't matter where you are from. Even lily Europe has been overrun so many times by different tribes that it has everything there is. The rest is cultural.

Personally, I would agree. I think it's a done deal.

Let me tell you this, Bear; if anyone has a problem with any bi-racial children you may have, the problem will be theirs, not your's or your children's. What matters most is that your children will grow up in a stable, loving home where values and morals are handed down.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am white, my husband and children are white. But, rather than focusing on the problems of children from 2 different races, wouldn't it be wonderful for us all to recognize the gifts they can bring because they come from those places!

I wish you all the happines and good fortune possible and may God bless you and keep you!
