She is bi-racial, she is just at black as she is white regardless of what she looks like on the outside and I would venture to guess these children are too. The children don't need the worlds ridiculous biases towards people in general. The "black family" they are with loves them and sees them as their children, not their "white" or tan or whatever children just their children. ABC if you have questions instead of making up problems ask the children themselves. Children aren't born worried about "Whose Black or White" they learn that from the media, the children should be left alone. We can pray for their well being and safety from ignorant people trying to create problems where there are none. (And for the record my child's father and I are married and have been all her life) I am a black mother of a white-skinned black child, she is mixed. she looks at first glance like a white child, well probably at second glance too, but she is not.
