I understand how you are feeling for I too have bi-racial children in my immediately family (5)..... and one of the five children has some inner self issues - his mom is white and his father is black and this child (a boy) does see him self as yellow and some times says he wants a yellow mom and dad like he is.

He is slowly learning what bi-racial means (I take the time to listen and to explain) and he is seeing that all people are special and that it does not matter what is on the out side, but rather what is in side a person that counts (a kind & loving heart).... when and if the time comes that he must face some evil people that are in this world and they try to hurt him with their words over his skin color or looks - his FAMILY will be here for him as we are today and always will be.

My family is white and the fathers family is black and the best we all can do is to be a close family unit and to work together to love all five these loving and innocent children..... they need LOVE and want LOVE - and we are going to give it to them and as much as they are willing to take from us.

As far as the hair thing goes we use PINK LOTION (for black people) and we use Leave In Conditioner by Infusium.... alternating which one we use and we do not wash their hair every day for it only serves to dry it out.... every other day is fine for washing the hair.

Dove and a good body lotion seems to help with the dry skin.......

Please know that I am here if you ever need to talk to some one that knows & understands...... ((( hugs )))
