Dear responders! There is nothing racist in one ethnicity people wishing to preserve their ethnicity.
Nobody says that some colour babies are better or worse.

I didn't mean it being racist. You are the first ones who said that it is regarded as racist. I see nothing racist in my question.

Do you?
The more you explain it the worse it sounds. Just leave it like that.
I'm a white woman married to a black man, mother of a mixed race baby. Please, tell me how I'll preserve my ethnicity. Should I get in vitro fertilization or just get a new husband?.

I dont think you are being racist., i think you are just being curious, but the question could have been put differently. My 10 year old son is mixed race (afro-carribean/white) and my 3 year old is white. At the end of the day they are all children, no matter what the colour. They learn the same things, the blood is the same colour, its just skin colour, and if you think about it the skin is the surface - they say beauty is "skin deep", and both my children are beautiful, regardless of their colour. What about white children who turn a lovely golden brown in the summer (if we get any sun, that is!)? At the end of the day i did NOT deliberately choose to have a black child and a white child - its not an issue to them or our friends and family, they are CHILDREN, not COLOURS. I love both my children equally, and always will, and i dont look on other peoples kids as white/black/red/yellow or whatever, i look on them as children with personalities of their own.

What a strange question. Do you somehow feel that white children are superior to black ones? My partner is black and I am white. He has 6 black children from a previous relationship. We met in our 40s and have been together for 12 years. It was too late for us to have a baby together but I would have loved to. This would have had no appreciable effect on my two (white) daughters, from my long term marriage 1970-1992. The baby would have been a re-affirmation of our love for each other, its colour would have been completely immaterial

If you honestly didn't mean that as a racist remark then maybe you should of phrased it differently like: Parents of adopted children. If you had the choice would you have a biological child or adopt or something like tht. If you did mean it racistly then I agree with what everyone lese has said. But anyways, I am not a parent but in teh future, when I am old enough I plan to adopt from Ethiopia in Africa. I've always wanted to adopt children and if at all possible I will do just that. Having biological kids isn't important to me I just want kids and whether they are adopted or not they will still be my kids no matter what race they are.I plan to expose my kids to African Americans and celebrate African holidays. I also plan to get books and videos with children of different colors ettc so they will have something to relate to. I'm super excited to have kids but I know I am too young and don't have any money to do so. So I have to wait. BUt when I do adopt I know it will be important to keep their culture alive and make them be proud of who they are. SO I'll have several deilimmas- different color , single parent & adopted. BUt I know that could be hard on my child to harder on them than me. But I'll give them all the love I have. I've always loved children and can't wait to be a parent!!

Nope, I don't see anything racist in your question. I also understand that some people might think your question is racist.... but think about this.... WHY DO MOVIE STARS ADOPT ONLY BLACK CHILDREN ? Most if not all celebrities who adopted babies in the last year or so (Madonna etc) adopted black babies. Why black ? You know something ? It is as if they are worried about their own 'whiteness' and use those black babies for their own purposes.... you know... they look whiter or feel whiter when holding those black babies. You are not really naive and think Madonna will leave her fortune to those two black babies in her will when she dies do you ?
If they REALLY cared about adopting to give a child a home, why not adopt orphans from their own country ?

Why should it matter if you're white and have a black child? If you're happy with your child, and love him/her to pieces, why would you want to change the colour of his/her skin? If you and your child are happy, healthy and love each other, that has to be the best thing you could possibly ask for. Children are precious gifts. Why would you want an exchange?

all the people that think this question is racist, you must be the racist ones as i don't see anything racist in this question.
i know what you mean by the question, it is a bit like a man wanting a son so he can carry on the 'family name' if he has only daughters and they all marry then the family name will not be carried over. just like if a white person has black children then their ethnicity is not being carried on. if this makes any sense at all, is this what you were getting at?

Doesn't matter what colour parents are. Im white, my hubby is white, my 3 kids are white but buggar me if anything happened to my family and resulted in my kids being looked after and cared for by black people so be it!!! They are just like anyone else, you no humans? With feelings etc.
Take a hike!!

Your logic is flawed in thinking that the parents of children of any color would desire a different set of children.
And yes, your question is a racist based question, in spite of your protests.
