There are no right or wrong answers to your questions, Delano. It's up to the couple involved as to whether the cheated on spouse is willing to forgive and raise a child that is not theirs. Keep in mind, that bi-racial children don't always come out looking white. It depends on the coloring of the black spouse. And it's not as if there aren't light-skinned people living in the hood. Hair is a dominating factor. if you got nappy hair, "you is one of us" and are just referred to as "mixed" or a red-bone, something that may elevate your status. And don't overlook the fact that most people in the hood are not married to their baby daddy or baby mama, so ethical dilemmas ain't that big a deal.
