"Don't let anyone ever tell you that mixing races doesn't work. My husband (white) and I (biracial) have been married for 17 years and have 3 absolutely beautiful girls. My parents were also an interracial married couple for 35 years. There was no problem on my side of the family, but some resistance from a few on my husband's side. It didn't matter to either of us what people thought, or even think now. We knew what we wanted and that was each other. There will always be those who have their own concepts in their mind, and that's ok. But since they are on the outside looking in, keep it to themselves. When you have a relationship that works, who can say that it's wrong?" --laila_sherri
"I am a black male, married to a wonderful white female for ten years and looking forward to another 10 years with her. We have three precious children who find encouragement, balance, love, support, openness and a place that they know they can always find acceptance in spite of the extrinsic challenges that they face. Her family disowned her initially, but my family was very receptive to her without showing or speaking with reservation. She was clearly accepted and has grown to love my family more each year. Over the years her family was able to get over their pride that was seated in ignorance. She is able to feel that she can communicate with her parents openly and her parents are great with the grandkids. They simply adore being grandparents." --reality4U
