  1. Crying at the moment! What a wonderful post! I just know that our (including myself, my DH and our 2 girls) capacity to love a child of any race/ ethnicity is great and certain. What insecure feelings we do have lie in how we would handle any societal 'ignorance' issues that would arise. Here's a question...Is it naive to think that our love will conquer all?

    Thanks for sharing this article,

    At the same time, we have been blessed with a lot of support from others, sometimes when we least expected it! I’ll never forget the time that I was grocery shopping with my two girls, and two elderly black ladies were watching me as I was comforting my baby. They came up to me and said, “There is a special place in heaven for a mother like you.” Little did they know that their words would give me comfort in times of pain, when racism would hit us with its cruel and ugly reality.
