Hi
I need some advise and perhaps comments from other parents who have the same or similar situation.
I was with my ex for 3 years and had my son with him who is now 16 months old. He is beautiful, white with blue eyes and dark blonde hair. His eyes are piercing blue. I split with my ex just a few months after he was born as he wanted us to relocate to Ireland, a decision I didn't want to follow.
I then started seeing someone July last year. It wasn't anything serious and I was on the pill as did not imagine having any babies with him anytime soon. I fell pregnant in October with him but before I found out our relationship fizzled out gradually (was long distance) we still get on now, there is no hard feelings between us. He says he will be there for the baby but with him being so far away I'm not confident he will be involved like how I want him to be involved.
He is black (Jamaican) so I assume daughter will have dark hair dark skin dark eyes. Obvious difference between her and my son.
My sons dad is involved (he pays me child support, skype calls his son every week) but that's about it. My daughters dad I hope will have more involvement but I'm not confident.
I'm really scared how people will look at me as a single mum with two close together in age and of different races. Especially people like doctors, health visitors etc
Am I looking to much in to it and caring too much about what people think? It's just a real big fear of mine at the moment. I love my daughter regardless of her colour and I do not care at all that she will be mixed race. What I'm concerned about is people's opinions and reactions.
