Many men do want their own kids. But there are unselfish men out there who don't mind.
Sometimes it helps if you want future kids with a new husband.
I had dates in the past that could not handle me having a biracial child. But I figure it proved to me they could not love both. I was introduced to my friend's Asian son. And he doesn't want kids at all. So it's not just white men.

Yes your dating pool is limited as a single parent regardless of race but more so if you only want a white male. Folks are racist and can't deal with the tangible proof that you like(ed) black dick. It makes them feel insecure, betrayed, and disgusted that a white woman preferred a black man over a white one at some point. It has nothing to do with the child...it's the sex issue.

That's amazing you pick out something so relative when it comes to dating ... is it really about your kids and their background here ???

It's 2012, not 1912. Are you embarrassed by the background of your own kids ??

It's not a big deal - it's not any deal .... They're human, not black/white/whatever ...

You limit your own dating pool with the list of dealbreakers you outlined on the other thread. You won't date men who have kids, you won't date men whose skin is too dark (and I wonder how you would explain that to your kids, who no doubt have skin darker than yours), you require them to OWN a house or condo... etc. That's very limiting stuff that would skim out a lot of good guys.

Your circumstances require a man with an open mind (not even because your kids are biracial, but because YOU HAVE KIDS), yet you will not make the same steps yourself.

Well, from an unmarried male's point of view, women with the most lily white of kids don't interest me.

Women with interracial kids are a major "fuggedaboutit." And it begs the question "Why do you repeatedly date black men?" (Don't answer that, but I can take 3 guesses, and the first 2 don't count). And if you were habitually attracted to them, you probably still are and aren't a very good investment.

It's not racist, not having had time to read some of the namby-pamby posts up above. It's practical.

So much depends on you.... are you worth dating with 2 kids ?

To many men the negative is your married and we don't want to get in the middle of a potential mess. Some men won't date you because of having 2 kids and less important but a factor to some guys could be they are Bi Racial.

But as I said, so much depends on you. Are you worth the hassle ?

To the white women with biracial children, if you had a baby with a black man, and you are happy, then why are you seeking a white man anyway. Either take back your black ex-bf or find another black man.
