Mocha Moms

One resource I have found great is Mocha Moms, which is a mom's club for women/mothers of children of color. I found them listed in the local Parenting magazine and had to work up the courage to call; even though the listing said, "open to all races" or something like that, I was nervous (I'm CC, my boys are biracial). My local group has been very supportive and I feel like it's a great place for us to be. There is a national organization; you can go on their website and find a group near you. I tried a few other local Mom's group, but I didn't like it when my boys were the only non-white kids there. I do feel like we need to go that extra mile to help our children experience all parts of their birth culture.
I also think having an open adoption is a great way for your children to have that connection. We were looking for a good dentist and when a friend recommended an AA dentist, I felt like that was a bonus.
