Hi M.,
My husband and I are both biracial(black and white)or even Multiracial. We have two children who are/look biracial. I used too organize a playgroup and I didn't have any other parents who were black and white, but there were asian and white families and hispanic and white, etc. It was nice organizing a playgroup, you will enjoy it. I would lean against requiring that people must be of the same racial background or mixture as your family is because this can be offensive to say someone who is looking for a playgroup and they are filipino and black or white and persian, etc. You could definitly do it, but I would just be open to all kinds of biracial families, not just the ones that look like your family. We all need support, you know. People of color have a separate set of challenges to face, I admit, and the best way to bring down walls is to start to pull them down TOGETHER. Might I suggest that you make sure your children know how unique and beautiful they are and that everyone has something special and unique about them. Celebrate the differences and the simularities. I'm sure you do, I am not assuming you don't. This was something I didn't learn as a child, so it is always worth mentioning, in my opinion.
