[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering how many married AA mothers keep their maiden names. I never considered taking DH's name but have thought about it a couple times since we've had DD. Honestly [b]my concern is that people might automatically assume DD is "another black child born out of wedlock"  or from a broken home[/b] if we have different last names. I know it's probably silly, but is this something you assume when you see an AA mother/child with last names don't match?[/quote]

You could give everyone you meet handouts detailing the date when you got married and the date when your DD was conceived and have photos and sonograms with time stamps to back it all up and people would STILL make stupid assumptions about the "legitimacy" of your relationship and your household because of stereotypes.  That's just how ignorance works.  Still, I wouldn't get my britches in a bunch over it cause as far as stereotypes go the popular broken home presumption is only one of MANY your DD will have to face and probably the least significant.  Your DD knows who she is, where she comes from, and can see for herself the loving parents caring for her and that's all that matters.  F%k what the ignorant folks think.
