Black Butterfly?

I have considered naming this blog "Black Butterfly". I came across this nickname while reading another blog, and it sorta stuck with me, especially because I already decorated the baby's nursery with butterflies. But why Black Butterfly? Well, that's because one morning a few months ago I woke up with a sense of peace, confidence and excitement about our future daughter. I have had an AA/briacial little girl in my heart for awhile now. But I have been overwhelmed by all of the "extra" challenges a transracial family faces. Were we up for it? How would our friends and family react? Would we be able to help her form a healthy racial identity while still feeling like she belonged with our family? How would she feel being the only AA/biracial member of our little family? But on that morning, I literally woke up and felt like God spoke to me, and all of a sudden I felt totally at peace and open - all worries aside. And I am excited. I truely feel in my heart that our little girl is going to be our beautiful Black Butterfly. I know it is truely out of our hands. But we are open to receiving whatever color butterfly God sends our way. And the rest will fall into place.
