Mum reacts to the people who say her sons aren’t hers, in a BEAUTIFUL video

Ebony and Denise are a married couple with three beautiful children.

Ebony, who is African-American, gave birth to the couple’s first child, their daughter Olivia.

Using an unknown Caucasian male sperm donor, Olivia was obviously born quite light-skinned.

However, they recently added to their brood with Denise opting to go through the pregnancy experience this time around.

Denise though is also white, and using the same sperm donor for their twins, the two boys are naturally Caucasian.

However, due to the colour of their skin and their hair difference, people don’t believe that the boys, Jayden and Lucas, are Ebony’s children.

But Ebony responds in the NICEST way you could possibly hope for, attempting to educate people who don’t understand.

Speaking on camera Ebony explains that there’s no difference in her motherly connection or love for the boys, than the love she has for Olivia simply because she carried her for nine months.

“I love these boys like I gave birth to them… once I saw them I instantly felt this connection, I am superly over protective of them, I love them.”

“You do not have to be somebody’s parent biologically, that is not a requirement to label you as somebody’s mother or father,” the mum-of-three adds.

Giving advice to others who are considering taking the same route, Ebony states:

“To those who are about to start this journey, believe in yourself, believe in your place, believe in your role in your children’s lives and in your partner’s life.”

“I know I have the confidence which you’re going to need to face those outside of family; to explain to them the dynamics of our family.”

But she also reveals that to do so you need to be confident in your family role, while it is OK to educate others too:

“I need to be 150 per cent confident in my role, so when we cross the path of people who don’t understand, we can educate those in the best way possible.”

“It’s OK to educate ignorance, it’s OK to educate those who genuinely just don’t know and assume based off what is considered the ‘norm’.”

Ebony’s video is full of food for thought, giving an excellent overview of how you can make situations like this work, and work very well.

We think the five make a beautiful family, and the parents are obviously doing a fantastic job.
