Thanks for getting in touch: Loading She was right, of course, and I was grateful to have someone to fill me in. Like my friend Jennifer talks about here , you might get a little obsessed with baby generators. I used all sorts of images to create a baby picture generator that a little bit realistic.
Like babies are in most families, not just mixed ones, our interracial babies create bridges and unite families. If you had previous issues with extended family and friends during an interracial relationship, your new baby might be an opportunity to unify those relationships this happened to us. Babies have that kind of superpower over older generations!! This post from Almost Indian Wife talks about unifying a mixed family while raising their Indian and white baby.
She talks about giving birth to their half white half Indian baby and a focus on communication to prepare. Raising our multiracial babies to feel whole in their mixed identities, with ownership and pride in their heritage, helps create a footing for their future worldviews. This journey has become an integral part of personal identity too, making my motherhood such a huge part of my life.
Like most moms, our babies bring us such joy. Biracial babies just do so in a few different ways. What a great post! I can especially relate to 6. All the comments about how light my babies were got exhausting. I also loved your point in 4. Both of my daughters have changed so much since birth.
So glad to participate in this link up with you! Gorgeous post!!! Why bother trying to predict anything anymore? And baby 1, now almost 10, is still blond, which is equally weird because I am not nor have I ever been blond.
No one predicted a blond child. My sister has two children who are identical clones of each other and herself as a child. Beautiful little blond children. She is expecting her third any second now, so if we play by the rules of expectation, this third baby should look roughly like James Earl Jones.
Many of us have been doing this since childhood. If anyone wants to know what my child with Leonardo DiCaprio would look like, I have a detailed description.
We even analyze our ultrasounds. We all do it, and we all know that no matter their features, they will be the most beautiful baby in the world. But genetics are weird, and mother nature has a sense of humour. Hi there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to give it a look. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm boo. Hello there!
