We never specified sex or race. So far, we have multiracial boy, African American girl, African American boy.
I do understand that for some, the idea of one day standing next to an African American man (with all the stereotypes people hold about them) and saying, "This is my son" is a little daunting.
I don't personally feel that way. But how many photos of black men have you seen on the news, in a positive light? Usually, the newscasters are presenting some kind of criminal. It's really too bad.
I love both of my sons in the very same way that I love my daughter. I hope that all of my children will have the chance to grow up to be respected by, and respectful of, others.
