Make sure in your heart that you are ready for the comments and remarks from people who don't even know you. My kids are from three different race's mixed with Caucasian. My husband and I are both caucasian. You have to be your childs first line of defense against ignorance.
You have to realize the the parents brave enough to cross racial barriers are pioneers and there will be more and more parents to do this. You're not the first or the last. Try and feel out your family to see if there will be issues and if you are willing to live with or without some family members in your life. Search your heart.
I thought I was very non-racist then we adopted our AA daughter. On my way home one night I was going through a "bad" neighborhood and I saw two AA boys hanging out on the corner. My first reaction was to lock my door, My second reaction was to burst into tears. Those boys were around the same age as my own two at home and I had pre-judged them because of the color of their skin. They were no more a threat to me than my own boys. I was so ashamed. It really forces you to be racially aware! I hope no one judges me for reacting to my "old tapes" I just wanted to point out things that may come to your heart.
Consider moving to a culturally diverse neighborhood so you children will have kids to play with that look like them. Our neighborhood is a great mix of many cultures.
