As a CC mom, I feel the need to apologize for these ignorant people. I would never ask (or even think), "How did you get a white baby" or "Who is her mother"? I think some people are nosy and make stupid comments.

I smile to myself when I see others with diverse families. I hope someday we can all enjoy a world where color is what it is - just another factor like eye color or hair color.
