Interracial Child??
I am Hispanic and the father of my child is black. She looks more like her father than she does me. I often get mistaken as her nanny, and I get lots of stares (mostly from the hispanic community) It used to bother me before but I'm used to it now. I would just like to know if your a bi-racial child was it hard growning up for you? I would like to know what my daughter is in store for as she grows up and be prepared somewhat for her. She is 3 years old right now. I was brought up that their is one race which is the Human race, but i know many people have their own opionions. I just want to be prepared for my daughter

I would try to put it behind me and not dwell on the fact that she looks more like your husband. No one has to have an answer if they ask stupid questions. Reply with Anne Lander's good old advice, "Excuuuse me? Why do you ask? Is it important to you?"
If they stare, give them a bright cheery smile. Don't let ANYONE allow you or your child to feel bad about a biracial child.
No Im not bi-racial but my 3 sons are. Black/White. I have had the same ignorant comments made to me, I had one woman ask me what country I adopted them from. I have also had people ask how long I have been watching them for. I hope you get good answers as I would like to prepare by babies too.
my mother is half german and half hispanic and has a german last name. she grew up the 50's and 60's when it was looked down upon, but she said that it was hard cause the white community didnt want her cause she wasnt "white" enough and the mexican didsnt want her casue she wasnt "mexican" enough.
my husband is half white and half hispanic and he went thru the same thing. hes 25. it more of the older generation that looked down upon him. they wouldnt let there kids play with him cause he was a "half-breed". now that he is older he doesnt get as much crap.
its hard but just teach your daughter the same thing. that there is one race --the human race---there are some ignorant people out there, and unfortunatly you cant protect your daughter from them as much as you want to.
