We have entered into discussions and they have sworn up and down they will not treat our future children any different then the two we have; only time will tell.

Out of curiosity why are you not open to full AA? Are you open to biracial AA/CC for example? Do you really think there's going to be a difference in how people percieve a biracial child and an AA child?
