Good luck, Bug'sMom. I have a biracial daughter who is the love and light of my life. My parents are a little archie bunker-ish, but of course now she is the apple of their eye. There is a great book called, "Does Anyone Else Look Like Me?" and it is about raising multiracial children. It is a "challenge" to raise a child to be proud of their racial heritage if you don't share it personally, but I truly think it can be done well! Re: your son, she is my only child, so I can't help you there. You may need to educate him if, e.g., he gets "teased" or asked questions by schoolmates (why doesn't your sis look like you, etc.). But I bet he will be thrilled!
