There is a possibility of our family moving to the Alpharetta area. My husband and I are white and we have 3 biological children. We also have 2 adopted African American children. Is the Alpharetta area a place where our bi-racial family would be accepted? Any thoughts on how our family may be treated? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

That's not uncommon at all, even out here in the hinterlands. I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.

Thanks for the reply! We live out west in an area where there are virtually no African American residents. So, with a move to the South we are not quite sure what to expect. We look forward to the opportunity of raising our children in a multi-cultural environment!

I was in the Atlanta area (not Alpharetta though) recently and found it quite diverse.

My neighbors are a bi-racial family and my home is in Dawsonville...about 1 hour north of Atlanta...I agree with the previous poster in that I've seen a lot of diversity.

I live in Alpharetta and work in one of the elementary schools. There are many families in our school with children of multiple races. Not uncommon at all.

Atlanta is very diverse. People of all races and ethnicities here.
