Being a transracial family and you go out in public, you are often subject to comments from people sometimes that you do not even know that will come up and tell you their opinion of your family. And these comments are not always friendly. They are not always appropriate. A few of the comments that we have received were we were asked if our daughter was addicted to drugs, and this is in front of my daughter. We were asked if her mother was a crack whore. We were asked if we were going to adopt an American, why didn´t we get a white one. And all of these questions are asked in front of my daughter. And I think the best way to handle these situations is to lead by example. My daughter is standing there so how she sees me responding to these things is how she will likely respond to them herself in the future. So what I like to teach my daughter is that she is valid to be angry about some of the insensitive and cruel comments that are going to come at her but I want her to be slow to anger. And so, I try to approach that in the same way. I have to make a quick decision when dealing with people out in public about what I am going to share and what I am not going to share. But I always have to remember that my daughter is watching and she is going to take my comments to heart, more than a total stranger will.
