We have two bio teens and they weren't fazed in the least about it. We too live in a 1200 person town and Drihan is one of 3 AA people and we have no problems. When people see us they acknowledge her as "Bretta or Chelsey's baby sister" it's funny. If you have raised your other children to be tolerant than don't worry about it. As for DH maybe he needs to speak to some people who have transracial families. It sounds like he is uncomfortable. There are plenty of books out there as well. Any child that has part AA in them is considered black and your family will become part of the black community as well that is the bottom line he needs to be comfortable with being identified with that child.
