My boyfriend and I gave birth to our son 8 months ago. Our son is biracial, African American and Caucasian. I have been doing a lot of research, especially on children's books, that will hopefully help our son identify with both cultures more easily as he grows up. Speaking to different people I know who are biracial and President Obama discussing his experience and struggles growing up biracial, I feel it is really important to help our son have a good relationship with both families along with both cultures. I want him to be proud to be biracial and identify with both sides of his family. I am not sure how to go about this best other than make him feel loved, remind him that he is special, and encourage time with both of our families.
