''Am I black or white or am I American?'' ''Am I Asian or Caucasian or should I say I'm mixed?'' ''Why don't my eyes look like yours?'' Helping your child understand his or her mixed racial background -- whether a result of your interracial marriage or a transracial adoption -- can be daunting, especially when peers & strangers alike perceive their features to be ''other.'' Drawing on psychological research & input from over 60 multiracial families, this book addresses the special questions & concerns you face, explaining how we can best prepare multiracial children to confidently make their way in our color-conscious world. Outlines specific ways you can deflect the objectifying & discomforting attention multiracial children often receive.
