Forum: Parenting in a Bi/Multi Race Family

Ok.. so I know people have to come here.. so please take a moment and join the poll.... No one will know what you chose unless you tell us! :) You can answer more than once!!

Our DS 6 mos has the most gorgeous nest of tight, soft little curls. I think I could "never" cut it, but I want some input from others who have gone before us. His hair will grow straight up like a shrub before it starts to hang with gravity. What have you done? P.S. Our DD 3 years old has...

DH and I really don't understand why this question is asked, but I suppose it's to help classify. But what if DD doesn't fit into any one category? Do you check all the boxes that apply? Do you check "other"? My mixed race couple friends tell me "it depends." If minority status is what...

My family is most unusual. My oldest dd is biracial. My younger two children are pale skinned and bright red hair. I feel like we are quite the attraction when we are out- people look at us funny or always comment on what beautiful hair my two redheads have. No one ever says anything nice about...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell a little about my history. My dh and I ttc'd for about three years when I emotionally could not handle it anymore. DH and I made the decision to move to adoption, although it took dh a lot longer than me. We completed a domestic adoption and...

Hey Im new to this thread...doesnt look like there is much action here but thought I would just post this to get it off my chest. My DS is 6 yrs old. His bio father is AA/white. So he is pretty light skinned and has blond hair and blue eyes. most people dont realize he is bi-racial. But when...

What things do we need to know? Any thing special we should be aware of?

So yesterday DH and I were out with BC Blessed and her family at the mall... I have Ian which is almost 2 and then she has a baby, a 5 year old dark haired cuite.. then 2 year olds that one is almost blonde and then the boy is a light brown. Now... I am a light brown, DH has black hair,...

Come out, come out where ever you are! :)

Hi... I don't want to double post.... I have already posted this at "parenting after adoption"... then I found this board. The issue is still not dealt with... I am procrastinating. I figure parents from this board would have some useful insights and suggestions. If you care to check out the...

...I consider myself lucky. I mean my dh is light, and ppl think I am spanish or Brazilian so we never get the strange looks. I've met him almost 11 years ago (OMG! Long time!) and never got hated on! On the other hand, I had a friend, actually roomate years ago. She was a white girl, but when I...

Come on in and converse with us! :)

Hi, I am Renee. I used to spend a lot of time here at FT YEARS ago... before having children and in the early parenting years. Been away from here but a "situation" prompted me to come back for some support! I found my way to the parenting after adoption board and have been hanging out there. Now I...

Hi I am marge I am new to this thread but not the site, I have a wonderful 16 month old baby girl I am looking forward to meeting you all....

So, my in-laws are going to the Philipines tomorrow for 3 weeks. FIL swears that when Ian is 5 he wants to take him.. knowing I and DH have no interest in going.. ( DH came home with malaria last time) and where we would have to go, we HAVE to have bodygards. Does he really think he is gonna do...

Hello everyone!! Glad to find this forum--it's very cool that something like this exists! I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I look forward to meeting everyone! I am caucasian, DH is African American. We have a beautiful 4 month old daughter, Olivia. She is my IVF miracle baby! ...

Interesting tidbit...just learned that EEOC has updated their categories to include, "Two or more races - all persons who identify with more than one of the above races." I guess that helps solve my DD's riddle for the moment.

They are up now! :) Juct click my link below! Enjoy!

Hello! My name is Mindy and I am Caucasian and DH is black (Haitian). We TTC for 5 years before we were blessed with our DD Kayden. She is now 4 months old! I just wanted to pop in to say hello! I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Here are some Christmas pics of my little one!

I know my mom loves my Dh. Yes that is a period. :) At Christmas.. my sis and mom were picking on my BIL. Why? Cause they seem to do that when they are being goofy and think it is funny.. sometimes it is. Well.. they started to make fun of the way he grew up with the word for pacifier....

I spoke with her earlier today and she asked me to post that her computer has gone kaput and she doesn't know when she will be back. She hopes very very soon though. If you have any concerns, please feel free to PM me and I will try to take care of your concerns!! Thanks!! Tea~*

I hope you come around here more often! :)
