"caucasian" foster son not -how to share with family??
Hi all! Our newest foster to adopt son is adorable, and 4 weeks old today! We took him home from the hospital and love him already. We have since found out that he is not caucasian like we are, but has some mix of another race, probably black but who knows? We have some members of our family that may have difficulty with this based on prior comments. He's gradually "tanning" and we are getting comments out and about regarding his nationality. Anyone have any advice on how/if to tell family members who are far away and aren't watching the transition? We thought maybe pictures would tell the story but didn't know if that would be a "cop-out" Also, any advice on raising a biracial son? We want to do what is best for him, but what does that mean? We have some friends of varying nationalities, but not many as we tend to be "loners" Thanks so much for your help!
