A Biracial President?

Dear Baby,

Your father decided we could bring you to our family if Barack Obama was elected president of the United States of America. Only then would he dare to believe that a child like you could aspire and achieve an American dream.

Almost two years ago, an Illinois senator whose mother was white and whose father was African, decided to run for president. He branded himself a new kind of politician and ran on a platform of hope and change for our nation.

The Clinton dynasty counted him out. Many Americans counted him out. Poised, as we are, on the brink of election day, it looks like he may win enough states to become the next president. If Americans can overcome their racism enough to elect this man president, then your father believes all hope is not lost.

We'll see.

Love,
Dear Mama
