Then you should have said "interracial couples having childen" not "interracial marriage". Marriage does not equal having children. Since my daughter is 1/2 Asian, I'm pretty sure I'm not against it. I am, however, not in favor of a same race couple adopting a child of a different race. Whether you like it and / or want to believe it or not, there are cultural difference between races and a child deserves to know his culture.

If that is what my answer meant to you, then by all means think it. Yes, adults may do as they please, but children need to be protected. So yes, I am of the belief that the welfare of a child should be placed before an adult's desires and his or her liberties.

Again, I don't believe I've ever said "disallow this or that type of marriage", but as my other child is disabled and I know what his limitations and abilities are, yes, I would be totally against people with his level of disability having children or adopting.
