Did anyone else see the Dateline NBC story from Fri, 9/23/05 where they did an update on the interracial twins (one caucasian, one black)? The twins have the same biomom (who is parenting them) and different biodads (one who is the biomom's husband and another who is a stranger). The boys are about 11 now, but Dateline has been following their story from their birth, so there were snippets from earlier interviews of the family.
Personally, I was distressed at the language that was used as it didn't appear at all positive. Especially in the snippets of earlier interviews, the Mom wondered aloud who was the 'real' Dad for her black child. I wanted to yell at my TV, "Your husband seems pretty real to me!"
Did anyone else who saw the show feel the same way? I'd like to get thoughts from those of us in the adoption triad, since we (apparently) tend to be better versed in positive language than some in the general population.
Here's a link to the Dateline story:

TIA for your input!
