My Willow Tree Angel (and baby) got a makeover thanks to a friend who is also a white mama with a brown baby. She gave me the perfect shade of paint to turn the white baby into a brown baby.
Being a transracial family is all about adjusting.

- I'm a Christian, wife, mother, writer, teacher, baker, health nut (who happens to have type I diabetes), type A lady. My babies, Miss E (4),Baby E (2), and Baby Z (brand new!) came to me through transracial, domestic, open adoption. My husband is the best---patient, dedicated, and loving. I'm blessed and happy. I hope you enjoy learning about our journey. You can e-mail me at whitebrownsugar AT hotmail DOT com ~Photo Credit (header pictures and author photo): La Jolie Vie Photography of Collinsville, IL~

Turned out great! I'm considering painting my entire Willow Tree nativity scene! Would love to have a brown baby Jesus this year! :)
can you tell me the brand of paint & her technique? I am a white mama with 3 (& expecting number 4) mixed babies, my husband is black. And I hate that we haven't been able to buy any Willow Tree figures that resemble our family!!
