My husband and I are an interracial couple. He is white and I am mixed. I am 7 months pregnant with a baby girl. What if she comes out looking more white? What race should I call her, especially if we are only going to be around his side of the family?

    I am in a interacial marriage as well and my husband is mixed and I am white our child is more "white" if you can put a color on him. but I like to put black sometimes on papers like at the doctors just mix it up a bit I always think its funny to see the reaction of other people. Skin color is not whats important. Knowing you love him or her is of far greater importance. It is something our families ( the in laws on both sides) have great difficulty with. BUt I would never have it anyother way. This world needs more people like us to add a little diversity. whats even funnier....My husband and I joke about it alot is if our children marry someone white and have a black child wont that be so Great.....:) Indeed it will stir things up a bit. have fun with it. dont make race such a serious matter because in my experience as well as i am sure yours I dont see color when I look at my husband. I see a beautiful man who I love very much. And thats what you will see when you look at your child for the very first time. and who cares what anyone else sees or thinks!
