personal update

I have bummed out because a neighbor lady has really been harassing my son. That is why I haven't posted in a while. I am tempted to give many details, but the reason why I haven't is because it could start a racial conflict. I will say that my son is mixed race (black and white); my daughter is black; both are adopted. That fact alone has created problems. An example of such a problem have included strangers assuming I have kidnapped my daughter because she is black and I am white. In all fairness I must say that the black and white community have been pretty equal in their viciousness and presumption. But also some the most well meaning support have come from blacks. Having kids of a race different than yours has taught me that when you do something different, (even if it's harmless like a trans-racial adoption) people will freak out simply because it goes against their expectations of how a society should act. I would like to close by saying true love knows no boundries. That sounds so noble and sweet until we meet that kid who looks deformed or acts weird and then our true colors show, don't they?
