[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents where born in a different country and I grew up in the US. I didn't retain the language and honestly do not have any close ties to anyone from my background. BUT when I had kids who are mixed, I realized that it would be important for them to have some language and family identity and background. I feel this pressure to have them take language classes or visit my parent's home country. Realisitically, I know they will not retain the language unless they immerse themselves or continue to study and practice it. I need to know if anyone relates or what you do in this situation? [/quote] If you were born/grew up in the US, you are American. It's important to realize that for you, this connection is already removed. You are not robbing your children of anything they would have had. You could, however, take the kids to the "old country" for a visit. [/quote]
