Thanks. I will share this with a friend of mine who also has mixed-race kids. Despite her divorce, she kept the name of her husband (double-barrel), and gave her children the same double-barrel name as proof that these are her children. She did this because of fear they would be taken away by white people because of the kids mostly white complexion. Crazy!
