Thank you all for your replies. We really appreciate all that was said and take it all to heart. Sara, thank you also in letting us know how it was for you in a different point of view of how our child will feel and possibly deal with others and our world. You are the same age as I am so I really take to heart that you cared enough to answer my post. Thank you! I believe that children are a gift from God and that the color of a person's skin doesn't matter it is what's inside that counts. My husband has a cousin who is bi-racial (mother is Caucasian and father AA) and she is just awesome and has everything going for her and we learn from her examples all of the time. We feel a calling for adoption as we have been married for almost 3 years and no kids yet...but we also realize that it's all in God's time too. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which hinders me from getting pregnant. It saddens us, but our doctors have hope...but we also feel that there is a reason this child and situation has been put upon us and that God has a plan...He always does. Thank you all again for your kind words and encouragement...we no longer look to this event being leery, but with hope and excitement!
God Bless!
Shannon
