For the most part the comments were supportive and encouraged me to enter the contest anyway. Even the editor sent me a msg with her thoughts.

I have a lot of friends jamaican/asian who will be featured. The little girl sitting in the washing maching under Candid CM is a Jamaican/Asian her name is Ming Li also Sydney
I started Noir Mommies from the lack of diversity in Parents/Parenting magazine there is always a white child gracing the cover. I have 2 yrs worth of magazines here..not a one brown child. I hope that Noir Mommies covers all the shades of brown/black/yellow children that do not grace the covers of other publication
Noir Mommies is to represent all the other shades that Parents/Parenting does not cover, so please send in your photo!!!
WE WELCOME EVERYONE!!!!!!!"
Which I was very happy to see after reading the comments to that post where other moms with biracial kids also expressed concern. How happy I am that Diedra of Noir Mommies wrote that note and eased our fears. Thank you Noir Mommies!

Hi Nikki,
I added you to my blogroll but I don't see my link in yours. Thought we were gonna exchange links...?? Let me know if you still wanna be listed in my blogroll.
Thanks!

Hey Desiree, I never saw a msg where you said we agreed. Sorry about that. I've added your link now so we're both linked up. Thanks so much =)
Deidre is awesome! :-)
Good luck with the contest :)
That is so true about almost never seeing a child of color on the parenting magazines.
I have to go visit. I love this!
