Biracial Pregnancy

[ash1y8705]

My long time boyfriend and I are not yet married but are excited that were expecting. I shared the news with my mom but am waiting to tell other family members. I am 100% happy with our lives and love going through everything with the man I love but am worried about the reactions if some family members and friends, especially since we are a white/African American couple. You'd think that since it's 201. It wouldn't be an issue, but I promise you it is to some. Any advice from other interracial couples that are expecting?

Be well.

You are all right. At the end of the day it is him and I (+1!), and the live we have for eachother. When people say things I'm going to rest assured knowing that.

Tell them to get over it. I think of it this way we are all mixed someway or another. so what if the person has a different as long as they are faithful and love you. I was 14 white Norwegian/swedish/english girl with a 14  white/native/afrian boy. So I've heard it all I'm 33 now .and she is a beautiful young woman.

His sister sat down and told us we shouldn't have our first cuz something is gunna be wrong with the baby cuz we r mixing races and how wrong it is for us to have kids together it really bugged me at first cuz she would refer to our kids like they were dogs call them muts they aren't full breed all kinds of stuff but now I just let it go cuz she must be jealous something if u ask me. If they have a problem let them its not their life its yours you guys r happy then dont let anyone get u down

My parents were really against interracial dating. I was 19 when I got pregnant with my oldest daughter. I'm white and her dad is black. So for the first 4 months of my pregnancy my mom would tell everyone  that I was going to get an abortion! At 4, months I got my first ultra sound my mom came with me and from that very first moment of seeing her on the screen changed her whole views of the interracial thing..... Regardless of color its a beautiful blessing that you and you S/O created together!! My family opened up and accepted it for what it is a beautiful beautiful blessing!! If your family can't open there eyes and see that then they don't deserve to be in your child's life!!! Hope it all works out for the best and congratulations on your lil t angle

I am white, my boyfriends African american.. I was worried about telling my family I was pregnant, I found out when I was 3 weeks and didn't tell them till I was 4 months. And they were all very excited and supportive. I was concerned about nothing. It may just be ur concerns.. good luck!

I feel so lucky reading your reviews! I've been with my man for almost 9 years and we're expecting a baby boy for february. He's Iranian and it's never been an issue to my family or his. They just take it as it comes. Last time I was saying my father: " Your grandchild won't really look like you!" (my dad is blond with grey eyes) and he just answered " I'm glad he won't, we' ll renew that blood :-)"
So really it's never been a problem. At first I was worried about the religion matter: my boyfriend is muslim and we are agnostic in my family (which means that my parents have not been married at church and I've never been bapticised) and for us it was normal that our sob would be raised in the muslim religion as it's the only option we can offer him ( I've missed a lot this lake of religion in my childhood) but again my parents know my man isn't a fanatic and they like the way he lives his religion so once again, it's not been seen like a problem for my family.
Sorry it's been so long but I just wanted to say that sometimes everything is going fine and if it's not now it will probably get better later!
Have a nice day ladies!

I'm white & my fiancé is black. It took some time for most of my family to get over it. Especially my mom. She would say things about having a mixed grandchild, but we've been together for 5 1/2 years, he's soft spoken, well mannered, takes care of me & my son, and my family loves him. And they are excited about the baby.

I actually have a very racist family, not all of my family but parts on my moms side.. I'm Mexican and Cuban and my boyfriend is African American and yes I get all the smart remarks and get to hear all types of bull. Honestly I'm the happiest I've EVER been and I wouldn't change it for the world!! I do not care what anyone has to say and if they want to continue to be hateful they don't need to be a part of me or my daughters lives because at the end of the day my daughter is still going to be part black, she is an extension of him and his family!!! Just brush off the negativity it shouldn't bother you if your happy (: just stay smiling
