I think the main question is can you handle it? If your area is biracially friendly, and what type of self esteem are you going to instil in this child to overcome his/her possible attempt to "wash" the color off of him/her.
***Before we start out a big debate, I married interracially and have a multiracial birthdaughter. She has great self esteem but a very close friend of hers has tried for years to "wash" the color off of her. It has been very hard for her to deal w/ the complexities of being biracial and it has taken her the past 5 years to see that she is beautiful. She will always have issues and I do feel for her. My daughter is well rounded and very culturally aware of her background and we do not have any racial issues with her.
If your husband's parents are going to be a problem then for that you all will have to sit down with them and help them realize that this is what you are planning on doing and get out the grievances now before they say something infront of your child that would be very uncalled for.
