About your mom saying that she cannot accept the child, I can't say if she will or she won't. Some people can and do change when presented with a situation. I am white and 13 years ago married my husband who is black. When we decided to marry, my grandmother said my husband wouldn't be allowed in her house and my father refused to walk me down the aisle. Fast forward, to the wedding -- my grandfather (grandmother's husband) walked me down the aisle. Fast forward another year -- my dad meets my husband and out of his three son-in-laws (sisters husbands) he likes mine the best. We also were not accepted initially by his family, but now it's a non-issue. We adopted our nephew's biological child last year (he's half mexican), so we are definitely a truly mixed race family but haven't had any issues with "is he yours, etc." I'm not sure because of the fact that I'm white and my husband's black, that they think that my son's coloring is due to our backgrounds or not, but so far that's not been an issue. If and when it does come up we'll deal with it lovingly and appropriately.

What I'm trying to get at is that your family may come around, but I hope that it wouldn't be a factor in your decision.

My other concern is a conversation I had with our mother after I posted this thread. She said that she doesn't care if it's with my sister or another sibling, that she cannot accept this child because it's of mixed ethnicity. QUOTE]
