I just wanted to know if there are any ladies out there who are in an interracial marriage or relationship and expecting. I am black and my husband is white and we are expecting our first child together. Anyone care to share any thoughts or stories.

Wow, that surely is a great mix. I try to tell people that interracial families are so beautiful, because that shows everyone that anybody can love one another, no matter what color they are. God luck for you and your family and thanks...

I am white & my children's father is black. Each of my children have asked questions as they have gotten older. Most commonly," if you are white & dad is black what am I?" I have always done my best to answer every question they have honestly and realisically and to allow them to define who they are. Each is comfortable with who they are and what their family history is. Today I have a multiracial 14 yr old a biracial 12 yr old, a black 10 yr old ( because my Daddy is) and an 8 yr old princess. The only complaint my oldest girl has is she wished she had "white girl hair". Best advice love them and be honest. Good luck

Hi, I am half-Taiwanese, 1/4 black & 1/4 white. I loved growing up and love being multi-racial and proud of my lineage ! :)
I am due in May 2006, and my fiance is black. We intend on teaching our baby all about her ethnic background and making sure she is proud and educated about the different races she comes from. I think inter-racial families are beautiful, and it's twice as fun to have twice as many heritages, customs and holidays to celebrate in life!
I DO think that children can go thru a period of confusion if things are not explained to them or if one culture is stressed as better than the other... but if u remain open with your kids and teach them that they are unique and precious whether they are black/brown/blue/purple or yellow! that they will do just great.
Congrats all the mommies on your pregnancies! :)

First of all.. Congrats to all of the expecting mommies!!!

I grew up in a strong bi-racial family.. my mom is filippino and dad is white and my siblings (there's 4 of us) and I, were hardly ever picked on...well except i was picked on for having extremely curly hair and my brother and sisters had straight hair lol... anywho...For anyone to have grown up in a bi-racial family or is bring up bi-racial children are blessed with the knowledge that racism has no place in this world... i'm due in july with my first child, and both my husband (who's white/native american) and myself plan on teaching our child about the philippine culture as well as the native american culture and many others... Its important to us that our child is exposed to different things.. and taught not to judge people by the color of their skin.. =)

I dated a (white) guy in college whose dad had left and his mom remarried a black man. He always accepted the stepdad as his real father and wanted to change his last name. He had brothers and sisters who were mixed races and thought the world of them. He was raised in another country where it was very accepted. However, at college in the states, he ran into prejudice. I was proud of how he tackled it head-on.

i am white and my husband is asian. we just had our first son, he is 7 months old now. it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, you won't even think that way when your baby is born. i think interracial babies are very cute :-). you will be more than fine!

Hi i'm 20 and im expecting my first child the end of october my baby will be mixed (which i have always hoped for) since i am white and the father is black... we are no longer "dating" but are still bestfriends and very close and both of us want this baby... congrats... and be prepared for even more stares than you got as a couple... i helped raised my sisters little girl (who is 100% black but very light skinned) and got some of the more horrible looks and comments... i once had a little girl ask if she was my daughter and since she calls me mommy and i have had her since she was 4 months old (she is now turning 4) i said yes, like i always do... her mother then came out to tell me that i must have misunderstood her daughters question... she wants to know if that is your little girl... i stood up and picked my little girl up smiled and told her yes before walking away... its not easy... but its worth it!

Hi! Not only am I a product of an interracial marriage, but I am also in an interracial relationship. Actually, because of where I was raised, went to college and work now, I've never really been around many black or mixed people. But half of my family is black. I had some trouble growing up in a predominatly white school, but not too much since my older sister and brother kida set the path for me. Our family lived in a small town who was pretty accepting after we became established members. I've had inner city aquaintences ask me why I act white? And a boyfriend whose friends told me I was only half pretty - silly things like this are bound to happen. But its really all apart of where your located. I think its wonderful that there are more openminded people out there in the world everyday! And congrats on being those people!! I thank my parents for that everyday ~ and for raising me this way too!

I am black and my first husband was black. We had 2 daughters. We divorced and I married a whire man.My second husband never wanted children, but when he proposed I told him we were a package deal (lol). It's been going on 11 years now and amazingly enough some people still believe they have the right to say something stupid or stare at you so hard you wonder if your undies are showing! We live in the 21st century yet certain mindsets are stuck in the days of their grandparents. I say live and let love do the rest. Marry who you want because you love him/her and not because they resemble you. You're marrying a personality, a heart not a colour. Same ethnic couples have the same problems as interracial couples because live presents itself with problems. Better to have a partner on your side who truly cares during these stressful moments than someone who is only with you because they share your skin colour. I have people state to me and my husband on various occassions,' Gosh! I could never marry out of my race!' My reply has always been ,'Good, that leaves more men for my daughters to choose from!' I have been told by well-meaning(ha)friends that my husband married me for sex. My reply,' Well, the blacker berry the sweeter the wine and he does become quite enibriated.' You need a sense of humour and a quick wit to handle the ignorant comments. Also, oddly enough and this surprised me some people don't value your relationship as real. Meaning, they will make the comment,' I didn't think the marriage would work out or last.' It was really nice to see this person was on my side. NOT! Well, I shall end now with a word to all of you. Stay true to your heart,s love your families and raise them to love and respect people regardless of the colour their skin; and when your spousepartner is sleeping take a good long gaze at that person who makes you happy. That feeling you will get from gazing at him/her is called love.
