My dh is considering a job in Utah. I am concerned about moving there (Davis County) as I have an interracial family. I have two children adopted from SE Asia, a bio caucasion child and two from Haiti. We live in Seattle which is VERY diverse and race honestly has never been an issue. Our family is not weird and does not stick-out at all up here. Most of my kids classmates are of a minority race and there is almost no racism (at least not that we have seen). I am worried about my kids being the only "brown" kids in the school. I am worried about us sticking-out and being different. I am worried about them being able to date.
My family is all in Davis County so that would be a HUGE plus for moving there, not to mention the cost of living! I just don't know if it would be fair to my kids. I know how cruel children can be to one another and the most important thing is for my kids to have a good self-esteem.
Could those who have interracial families in Utah tell me their experiences? Am I being too paranoid? Are there areas that you would recommend or not recommend moving to?
Thanks!
Kelly
