“Nothing about parenting Shiv is simple, because we're this at once recognizable yet totally unfamiliar amalgam of a twenty-first-century family: white mom, brown mom, black son. We push a lot of cultural buttons[...] We draw attention without trying to, and the world doesn't always know what to do with us. We are still a novelty for most of the people we encounter, and almost everywhere we go, one of us or all of us are in the minority. [...] There is a consciousness about our family's visibility, what it means, how our choices will be judged, and, on top of that, the extra consciousness of trying not to let that factor into our decisions too much.” FamilyDiversityParentingAdoptionLgbtq Book:Brown White Black: An American Family at the Intersection of Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Religion Source: Brown White Black: An American Family at the Intersection of Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Religion
