Quote From: andy0827It's interesting to me that you mention the cruelty of children. Really, is this what you are worried about? It doesn't sound to me like other children will be the cruelest or most judging people in this child's life.
How could you raise and love your daughter, only to abondon her over a decision you do not agree with? What does this teach your grandchild about unconditional love?
If you think this child wil be the only one at school with an African-American dad, you are very naive.
I don't think that I am naive at all, and I know that my granddaughter would not be the only white child in school with a black step father. Yes I do worry about other children being cruel. I have some friends, he is black and she is white, they have a daughter, she has told me that no matter how you look at it her daughter is black, she got called names in school, teased, (is that fair to an innocent child?) she has also said that when they go out they get looks, even in this day and age it is still frowned upon, granted most are racist, I however do not believe that I am a racist, It's a cruel world we live in and by admission, caused by people that think and feel the way I do. Like I said I feel guilty at times for the way I feel.
