My 16 year old is bi-racial. I am of european decent and her father is AA. Where ever we go she just fits right in and people embrace her.
I think the key for us was nurturing her self confidence, for her to develop a comfort in her own skin. She doesn't seem to be attentive to race or skin color and people have always commented how beautiful she is and that it is beautiful she is of mixed heritage. Heck, my daughter thinks that being bi-racial adds to her popularity!
It has been a very positive experience, for me, raising a bi-racial child and I have immensely enjoyed all the attention I have gotten over her the past 16 years.
I think your possible referal is absolutely gorgeous by they way, really really gorgeous! If you continue to have reservations about her mixed heritage it could hurt her in the long run if you accept her referal so I can appreciate that you are thinking long and hard about it. It will be very important for her to have someone in her life who embraces and teaches her about both her hispanic and african heritage and teaches her to love that about herself.
