My Mixed Race Children

This day and age, we don't ponder this very often. However, as I sat in the birth certificate office last week, the question was clearly raised for me. I made quite an entrance to the waiting room with my huge double stroller, and quickly found a seat. A pleasant young woman next to me asks, "What is he mixed with?" (looking at Ethan) I was totally taken aback by this question, but not offended. I told her my husband is Chinese and she said, "Well, he certainly looks a lot like you!" Then I was confused. But regardless, I must be aware for my children that people will ask questions like this! I need to be thinking about this issue and how to address it with them. One of my friends (a Caucasian who also married a Chinese man) sent me this link to an article which basically says that kids with a biracial identity may be psychologically better off. Enjoy!
