I feel like it is a personal choice, it's ok not to agree but don't let that stop you from being happy for her.My sister has 3 mixed children one puerto rican and two black. She had her first when she was only 16 and my Dad was to say the least upset and didn't want anything to do with her or the baby.That was until she had her baby. He still don't agree but those are his grandbabies. It really doesn't matter how you feel. If you can't be happy for her than that is something you have to overcome. These are choices she made for her..what is right for her. If you are her friend then you will see that. Just because there are things in life you don't agree with sometimes doesn't mean that everybody has to agree with you. Be happy for her she is having a baby a miracle. Seriously you want to share this with her. Remember these are choices she made for her life not yours. Don't take that out on her or that precious baby she is carrying.

I have an interracial child who is well adjusted and doing just fine. There is a book that I would recommend that could help her understand the developmental understanding about how kids learn about color, then race, then culture. It was written by an interrracial author who did some really cool studies. The results were fascinating. The title of the book is "

I think you should support her no matter what but I am interracial so I understand the difficulties. I think some aspects of that will be hard for the child but with the right support it's no different than if the child was simply a minority. Besides with all the interacial kids these days it's not uncommon and there's only a select few out there now that have a huge issue with it.

Are both parents in America? Are they both legal citizens? If the answer is yes then I am fine with it. What difference does it make if a child has more than one heritage? As long as both parents are going to be there for the child and raise it properly then it is all good with me. I just can't stand those people who are illegal here in America and have kids just so they have an excuse to stay here.

Its difficult for both the parents and the child because the society we live in isn't always so accepting of differences and racial diversity. Also it is difficult to be a part of two cultures. Where do you fit in?
The parent must be aware of the issues the child is going to face growing up and must not avoid the issues and pretend that they dont exist.
I am of mixed race, my mother is black and my father is white and I think I have the best of both worlds!

what does it really matter aren't we over that yet? It is 2007 right! Who cares what color skin the baby has as long as it is loved, etaing, and cared for. That is one thing and as long as it has parents who are there for it and care for it. Maybe this is a mean thing to say but if you are her friend then you would be happy for her that she is having a baby and that she loves someone not the color of their skin. Yes the baby will have people that will say stuff but don't kids with acne, that are heavy, to short to tall, don't wear as nice as clothes as others, kids are kids and they are going to say anything.

You as a friend should support your friend no matter if her baby is interacial or not, babies are babies not matter if they are of one race or four. I have many friends who have interacial babies and many who don't and I love all of them no matter what and I have stood by them. I also have three kids and all three are interacial and I love all three of them. I don't look or treat them differently. Worry about how much of a supportive friend you can be and not about what that baby's skin color is going to be. Good Luck!!

I really don't think it's as big an issue as everyone makes it out to be.
Personally, I'd be happy for your friend because she is having a baby and hopefully the father is still in the picture and they are making a family together. that's really what's important.

well, I see that you were under your parents' influence in this area of opinion. Interracial babies are people just like anyone else. It's not so taboo anymore; there are plenty of interracial married couples these days. My boyfriend is half asian and half white. I just don't see race as an issue in the slightest. But I guess a university environment is not just like the rest of the world.

I know what u mean cuz that baby is gonna have a hard time being between races. But as long as ur friend raises that baby to not care what others think bout him/her then she/he will be fine.
