My babies are Cuban, Native American & Ukranian from me & West Indian, Black (African) & Native American from their daddy...We're just a United Nations Family!
Hi my boys are British born,Jamaican and Nigerian, i'm British with Jamaican parentage and my husband is Nigerian, so i guess we're United Nations Family too.
My mother is from Vietnam and my father is black. My ex husband is Mexican. My kiddos are black, Asian and Mexican. My parents and family had no reaction, nor did my ex husbands family because race is irrelevant to us.
My daughter is biracial. She's Black and white. I am black and her father is white.
I am a mother of two kids 9 and 6 in Canada. Both my kids are half Filipino and half Scottish/German. My brothers and sisters have married outside of the Filipino culture so my parents are used to our eclectic family. My husband's side have absolutely NO issues. They love their grandchildren regardless of colour.
I am a mother of two kids 9 and 6 in Canada. I also work as a social media marketer and an an avid Twitterer, blogger and love connecting with people online --- especially the wired moms, who are like me, love the web and try to manage life and keep all
My daughters are African American, Native American Indian, Hispanic, French and Anglo all from my father's and mother's side of the family and Native American Indian and African American from my husband's side of the family.
I have a biracial son. My family was totally fine with the fact that my husband is white/mexican. What I am wondering is what should I expect from the world. I am obviously a black women and my husband is obviously not. Our son on the other hand is much lighter than I and I just don't know how teachers, neighbors, etc are going to react. Maybe I am the one overreacting?
I think it really depends on where you are. In a lot of areas there are many families like yours and no one even bothers trying to keep track of who comes from what backgrounds. In less diversified areas it might raise a few eyebrows, but those people need to get out into the real world a bit more often, IMO! I think the best thing to do is not call any attention to it yourself. Teach your son to be proud of both sides of his heritage and not let anyone tell him he doesn't belong! It can be hard for kids sometimes, but ultimately having such a diverse background can really enhance his ability to get along with a variety of people and have empathy toward others. In the modern world this is becoming more and more common, thank goodness.
I love seeing that there are so many "melting pot" families on this site!

Yes my children are a mixture of many things.I myself am African American and Puerto Rican, my husband is Arabian.To be honest my family was open because my first husband was Pakistani and White,therefore they were usedto me being with someone different.The one who was most affected by it was my grandmother but only came from the way that she was brought up. But his family was very open at first but he was previously married and they favor the other wif more becuse she is Arabian, which I felt it was unfair any way love has no color boundary. Therefore we told our children you are a humanbeing first and you are special because you have two cultures swirled up in you so you are unique, and donot care what any one says about you as long as you know who you are and you are happy with you, and whaen you get older and want to marry marry someone who you love and loves you not for their race and what status they have.Love has no color.
