Bi Racial Babies And Relationships

Why do you think you are pregnant? Have you taken a home pregnancy test yet?

You love your bf don't you? And he's 1/2 black. Why on earth couldn't you love a baby that is 1/4 black? I don't get it. You love your boyfriend yet you are worried you couldn't love your own child...

If you think you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test. THEN worry.

Eiri,

Many young teens think having a baby is all about how cute it is, how fun it will be to dress it up and take it places, to show it off, etc. How it looks is very important.

Which is yet another reason to delay childbearing until you are an adult.

I think mixed babies are gorgeous...

All babies are gorgeous, black, white or in between.

They are also unbelievably hard work and test the patience of the most devoted mother at times.

Well, if you think you're pregnant, have you considered marriage? If you're willing to keep this child, then I think you're ready to be married; that way the child will have a stable environment at least from the parental side.

Again though, first take a test!

I dont know if its so much of me not being able to accept it cuz I am pretty sure I could I love my boyfriend and he is black and I love the little black children that I met on my missions trip I thought they were adorable. I worry though about my family not accepting it. My father wont even talk to me since I have been dating my boyfriend and though my mom side loves my boyfriend we have never talked about how they would feel if we had kids. I mostly worry about how my family would accept it.

JayJay, to be honest, I don't know what to tell you. If people have deep seated feelings about racial things, it's pretty hard to talk them out of it.

I do find that most grandparents fall in love with their grandchild no matter what color or colors he or she is, though. :} And just maybe if they meet your boyfriend, they will see him for the person he really is, just as you do.

I will take a test as soon as I can, and yes if I am pregnant we have already decided we will get married, though we really don't know how we do not have the money to even move out of are parents houses. But I guess if I am pregnant I will need a place to live cuz I am pretty sure our parents will kick up out. My mom would kick me out no matter whose baby I was carrying she would kick me out anyway.

I dont know how we can get married and have a baby but if I am pregnant there really is no other option.

I know of two other options. Terminate the pregnancy or give the child up for adoption.

You don't have to even consider either one, but they are options.

Why do you think you might be pregnant?

Terminating a pregnancy goes against everything I believe in well so does having sex before marriage in the first place but anyway. I could never carry my child for 9 months and give it away I just could not do it and I don't think my boyfriend would let me I know he would never let me terminate the pregnancy not that I would and he would not want me to give it up either its his baby to.

Well you don't have to worry about it since you are almost certainly not pregnant. If you really were or even thought you were, you would have told us your symptoms like 10 times already by now.

It is funny how some say racism isn't an issue anymore but then you always find situations like these that make you wonder when we will be able to put the color of one's skin behind us. What does it matter? We are all God's children. This upsets me so much and I am a African American or Black whatever you want to call it. I am 24 weeks pregnant with my child that will be half black and half hispanic. Neither one of our parents have an issure with our relationship and our furture child. My parents love my fiance and his parents love me. It really upsets me to know that there are parents out there that teach their children "Hate" in such a manner.

JayJay you are dating a half black young man and you have had sex with him but you apparently was not thinking that you may become pregnant from him. It is a shame that in a sense your Father is rubbing off of you because of the fact that you even question having a bi-racial baby. I hope that this is a scare for you and that you aren't pregnant and maybe you can figure out in the mean time who you are and what feelings you have. Take this time to grow and find within your inner self the true meaning of love. You may not ever understand or your Father may not ever understand but we (African Americans or any other minority) did not make our own races. We were put on this Earth just as you were and should not be thought of any different just because the color of our skin. I hope that you really do love your boyfriend and when you get a chance you might want to let him know that you at first had a bit of an issue with having a bi-racial baby so that way he knows where you stand.

It is crazy that anyone even thinks of race anymore. If you try to pin someone done on why they don't like a particular race, they have no rational reasons. There is nothing inherent in the color of a person's skin that makes them different from anyone else.

that is my point and why on earth she would make the statement:

I am nervous about how I'll feel about having a bi racial baby I am white and my boyfriend is 1/2 black and 1/2 white. I am afriad that I will not look at it the same or love it the same as I would a white baby like me.

is beyond me...Will we ever move on? There is no reason why she should not love her child regardless of what he or she is mixed with.

She'll move on when she is older, meets more people who don't "look" like she does, and is away from the influence of her father.
