The biracial child, in strict terms, is a child whose mother and father each come from a different racial background. Census data estimates that there are about 3 million biracial children making up the population of the United States; this coming with the spikes in interracial marriages between blacks and whites and whites and Asians since the 1970"s. There are many interracial combinations; be it black and white, white and Hispanic or black and Hispanic-one thing can be said: biracial children make for the most beautiful of children with a mixture of distinctive and proportional features coming from each parent not commonly seen in children of one race.

Being biracial comes with its own set of problems- and delights. It is the best of both worlds and it is sometimes also the non-acceptance of either. These children are privy to the inner workings of two cultures and ethnic backgrounds and their histories while at the same time being a unique culture all their own- an inner resource they can tap into at any time. It has been found in studies that the biracial child can experience problems associated with racial and social identities, isolation or academic and behavioral issues. In truth, biracial children are only children who do not realize they are different until it is pointed out to them and are not uncomfortable with it until it is made an issue for them. This commonly leads to one of the biggest hurdles for the biracial child-the illusion that the child must be made to choose a side.
