I'm 100% Hispanic (Mexican) but on my birth certificate my ethnicity is Hispanic and my race is white (because I was raised in a mostly white state in a white community is what my sociology professor told me) so I guess you put down whatever race you grew up in.. And I suppose ethnicity is what would be mixed *i plan on putting ethnicity Hispanic and race white because that's how hubby and I were both brought up*

It's been FOREVER since I had my girl but my husband is Mexican and I'm white. I think you can put both on there if I remember correctly.  Like I said, it's been a long time so I don't remember for sure. Lol.  Good luck! :)

I think they may class the baby as mixed race..i keep wondering myself because my boyfriend is full black but my mum is black &white and my dad is full black so am wondering if that will make my child classed as full black or not its all confusing x

They have paperwork for you to fill out and there should be an option for the race of your baby.
