MORGAN Hoffman was astounded when a reel she made about her daughter and motherhood went viral. Morgan and her husband Matt welcomed their little one, Brooklyn, into the world 10 months ago and have been enjoying family life since. Morgan is black, Matt is white and their daughter is biracial. Morgan said: “When she was born she looked most like Matt… She’s starting to look like me in terms of, she’s starting to get a little bit of a tan…” The mother-of-one received negative and nasty comments on her content that accused her of lying about being Brooklyn’s biological mum. Morgan said: “Someone else said they might have switched babies at the hospital and given us the wrong baby and they said that still happens.” They also received a lot of racist comments. Morgan said: “It’s just the skin colour they’re getting hung up on.” Matt added: “It’s very eye-opening… It takes you back, it hurts.” But she has also received comments and messages from other parents of biracial children thanking her for shedding a light on this. Matt said: “She knows who she is, what she does for Brooklyn - the most important thing is just to rise above it - be confident in who you are and what you do on a daily basis.”

"It's hurtful that they see something beautiful and they wanna make it into a problem." That's exactly right.
People don’t get it. I am a black woman with a blue eye daughter. All of my biracial children are completely different, some with blue eyes and others with brown eyes. But all are the same skin tone as Brooklyn. And my grandchildren are blond hair with blue eyes. People just don’t understand genetics. Y’all just be happy and ignore them. 😊
Well said ❤
Do agree
Just like me And My siblings growing up
They' say I Was adopted 😱
Never took Them on.
time When The war ended
As u mentioned All 4 of Us Looked different
Growing
I Cld relate to that
Hehehe 🤔
Didn't not Care ás I Never notice
That's because you're biracial, not black. If you were 100% black your kids wouldn't have these features.
That baby is not the mom's complexion. What does she mean tan? the mom aint tan
Genetics makes sense. It states that the children look like the parents. For you to be a black women with a whole slew of blue-eyed white grandchildren makes no sense. Just like it would make no sense for a white man to have 10 grandkids and they're all black.
As someone who's mixed,we come in all shades. I get mistaken for Latin all the time. Mixed people can come out looking all sorts of ways.
My kids are mixed and look nothing like their white dad at some point as was glad because people from my ethnicity tend to be mean and would definitely give me a hard time if they look white they definitely have comments like you are just the maid/babysitter
@@Gaby-cq8prI'm sorry people can be so cruel.
my boys are biracial one is dark complicated the other is light they look alot like there father
@hayleymurdock58 see what I mean? We come in all shades ❤
Totally. I’m mixed too (half Chinese, half white) but nobody EVER thinks I’m Asian
Genetics are amazing. People are very ignorant. Such a cute family ❤️❤️❤️
Isn't it!! And she also looks a lot like her grandma
She looks nothing like her mom. Mommy is busted. Thank God she looks pretty and takes after her dad…
@@Tania-fx4uz exactly!! It's so obvious that the grandmother is mixed race herself so it's not shocking that the baby looks white.
@@missvida6251 What the absolute F is your problem???
@@missvida6251Only thing that’s busted is the scale in your bathroom whale, hit the gym and stop being miserable.
I can definitely see the mama’s features in her face. Being mixed native hasn’t been easy for myself because I’m lighter skinned. It’s so weird to have complete strangers tell me who I am 😂😂😂. My mother is a beautiful brown skinned native woman my father is a white man. It’s not easy have one foot in my native culture and the other in my fathers Irish heritage. I love and embrace them both because I have such a wonderful support system that remind me other people’s opinions of me are not my issue or my problem. It’s a reflection of them and it’s there issues to deal with ! Miigweetch for sharing your story with us !
As long as you know who you are
Other people will be angry that they can't stuff their ideology down your throat without you putting your foot down
Right she is still growing but I can see her having like her moms jaw and either way adorable ppl are soo sad 😢
I felt this in my soul 😢 I'm too "white" for people (especially online) to accept that I am Native and Spanish. I get called all kinds of names 😅it's ridiculous 🙄 people need to take a genetics class
@@sophiabultena6781 kwe kwe cousin you are valid and I see you !!! Prays up tabacco down !! 🪶❤️💛🖤🤍
@@sophiabultena6781 I can relate I’m African American and because my complexion and hair color at time people assume things and try and convince me I’m something other than what I am and it can be very offensive
People forget that black Americans have white in them. If you see the grandmother, she looks like she could have a white ancestor.
Period. Dam i m myself have native black and white ,girl they forget about slavery
Who told you that lie that all black Americans have yte in them?
@@StephenB-iy7pr And I bet you are light yourself when asking this question.
Just answer the damn question sis what does his skin color have to do with his question he maybe could've said it better bit just answer the question
@user-yy5lz1ds6y Usually, it's the lightest, brightest black person denying that got white in them.
She definitely has her mother’s facial features.
As long as this baby is being loved and taken care of it doesn't matter if her parents are black, white or freaking purple!!!
What a beautiful family, Brooklyn is an absolutely beautiful baby. Ignore the trolls, they are just unhappy in their own lives. 💗
I agree. Focus on how very blessed you are.❤
I am brown and married a German guy. Our son has a deeper tan complexion closer to me. In the summer, he actually gets darker than me. Our daughter on the other hand, is closer to my husband’s skin tone. She barely tans. Our son has my dark thick curly hair while our girl has brown very thin loose curls. She was born paler than her dad. Our kids look like opposites but at the same time look alike. I was actually asked once if I was her babysitter.
They look like a perfectly normal family to me. I'm happy for them.
😂😂😂😂lies trash and garbage 😂😂she looks out of place with her own kid😂😂
Same here ❤
She used the term extraordinary in the title...which means very unusual. Thought I'd point that out for you.
This is literally my life, but in reverse. I am mixed (white and black), my father is black and my mother is white. Growing up, people never believed that I was her biological daughter. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with adoption, it still hurt me a little that people would never even consider the possibility that my father could be black. Plus, people always glossed over many defining characteristics that I share with my mother, like our smiles, just because of the difference in skin color and hair texture between us...
Me and my brother are the spit of each other one is white one is brown. So people just assume hes my boyfriend and when we say no they relpy thing like What! No never! like they still cant see past the colour even once told to look. They ask if we have the same dad so we say we do. Then they ask if we have the same mother we say we do and they look lost. He gets told he black I get told I'm white it's like people just can not help by putting people in boxes of colour and when you say we come from the same box but are a different colour their brains can not understand it.
I'm sorry you've had to deal with that 😕 But you and your family know what's important, and that's the love you all have for each other! Those characteristics that you share with your mom are so special, and anyone that can't look past your skin isn't worth your time or energy ❤
Most people are way too dumb.
It's like you tell the story of my life! My mom is also white and my dad is black. Me and my mom have the same facial features, the only difference is our skin tone yet people don't see it. It's frustrating 😒
🫂 ❤ hugs
As an European I can hardly understand this race issue that seems to obsess Americans. Everyone is a unique mix of dna. A person. Wish you all the best and hope people will be less judging. Your are awesome.
I’m English and I can tell you o had a hell of a time growing up with a mother who was whiter than me. Then problems got even bigger when y brother came along and looked more like her than me. My mother would introduce all theee of her kids to people as a group then they would look me up and down, pull a face and be like ‘uh, who are you…’
@@SobrietyandSolace sorry to read that. I guess people have many stereotypes and preconceptions in their mind and feel the urge to express a lot of unnecessary judgment. I saw once in a documentary that African-American descendants are very much aware of the sigle shades of their skin, judging themselves and others according to a sort of racial classification, the lighter the better. Probably that’s very far from me because in Switzerland there are not many black people, but to me this self consciousness of the skin tone is utterly incomprehensible. The fact that the “race” is mentioned on the U.S. IDs is incomprehensible. Centuries of slavery have forged everybody’s conception of “colour”. In England it’s probably different from Switzerland (and US).
Me too. I was born and raised in Brasil where people are really mixed and nobody cares!
you are right, we Americans are obsessed with this artificial thing called race. It is our national pastime, an addiction with potentially dire consequences. It is truly embarrassing.
In every community of color , there's an element of colorism among people of color that manifests itself in many ways and is generational in a lot of cases. In black Americans' case , it seems from the separation and demarcation that was made between slaves that worked in the master's house who were often the children of the slave owner and female slaves and darker skinned slaves that worked in the fields. Though both were treated horribly, house slaves because of their fairer skin could be treated a little bit better than dark skinned slaves, and also the lighter a person was , the easier it was for them to pass as white which could literally be a saving grace.
Yeah, I can see the baby has her mother's features; nose shape, smile and doe eyes and her father's color hair, skin and eyes. A mixture of her parents and the genetics is very amazing. Remember there are twins of a different skin color but blood runs through them. They're a cute family either way.
I definitely believe it when seeing what their grandmother looks like. She very light-skinned and most likely has recent European admixture so it’s logical that if her child has kids with a person of European descent, their offspring will most likely look lighter in complexion. 😊
What I love most about this is that there's a good chance that for now she will look like dad and as she gets older she will start showing her wonderful African side. I love being mixed!!! It's the coolest!!! We are proof that love conquers and racism doesn't win.
That's not always the case. My children are grown and still don't look black. (Even their hair texture) and the same with my sisters kids. Her kids still have blue eyes and blond hair and they're in their 40's.
Okay like seriously??? This sweet baby looks just like her mom, she has dads white skin and then all moms beautiful black features! A lower nasal bridge, perfect lips, a more angular face, with big full cheeks!!!! People are idiots!! She’s going to be absolutely gorg as grown little lady!!!!!!!
I'm slightly darker than the lady in this video but my daughter is white, blond and blue-eyed. When she was about 4 or 5 we were at the mall and some security guard was keeping an eye on us and for a while following us. It was really creepy. Until my daughter for some random reason said: "Mama, ..." And that's when he backed off. It was the most unsettling experience in the mall. I carried her in my belly for 9 months, had to have 2 surgeries to get her to begin with and then they act that way, because I'm dark-skinned and she's white? If it had been the other way around, they wouldn't have bothered because then they would have assumed that I had adopted some poor African child. And then they claim there is no racist bias? I live in Europe as the daughter of a white European and an Afro-Latina. My last name is considered normal, my first name anything but. My other two daughters were born with brown eyes, brown hair an a slightly darker skin. Nobody says anything about them. But some people even asked me whether they (the oldest and the twins) had the same father. Just because my eldest is white, blond and blue.
That's awful, I'm sorry you had to deal with that 😕 Best wishes to you and your family ❤
My little one is mixed and she came out more like dad 🤣
I have even been asked if she’s mine . 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I’m gonna start saying “naw I was bored so I went shopping at the hospital” 🙄
Hahaha, that's perfect! I'd totally wanna see their faces after that 😂😂😂
That is funny, but be careful you might get some dense person that really thinks you mean it.
@@4daluvofnikki omg lol if they do that’s their issue lmao . The cops would laugh in their face if they try to report it
She is a beautiful, healthy baby. Can’t we just appreciate the fact that she has two loving parents in a world of craziness. I’m not even biracial, just light-skinned, and I’ve dealt with this kind of thing. It’s messed up.
Brooklyn is a gorgeous baby and this family is beautiful
People are so dumb. The wife has a light skin mom + a white husband of course the baby could come out much lighter. Most Afr Amer have white ancestry due to slavery, so the baby can come out more white presenting. I've also seen biracial kids who look fully black
Its unbelievable that people still have the ignorance to say such things, genetics seize to amaze me ❤🫶❤️ she looks like mama
I went to school with people that were mixed. I worked with people that were mixed, and sometimes the white part is more dominant looking then whatever other nationality it is. People need to mind their own business. It’s a happy family that’s all that matters. ❤
Dad told me that when I was born he was looking at me through the nursery window (this was in the 70s). A coworker wife also had a baby the same day. The coworker asked my dad where his baby was? He pointed to me, I guess I was really pale white and had light eyes. The coworker said "That's not your baby that baby is white!". Of course my dad shut him down. My mom also said some in his family thought my mom was cheating. 50+ years later I am much darker (due to living in the west coast) and I still have hazel eyes.
My partner's from an eurasian family, both of his parents are European - Asian mix. But he and his twin sister look almost 100% European (blue/green eyes and brown /blonde hair, with subtle asian facial features). They spent their childhood predominantly in China and South Korea and considered themselves as the same as their friends there. They were devastated when people tell them that they are "outsiders" and deny their 'Asianess". My partner told me all about his self-doubt and I truly feel sorry for him. So I just kept telling him that he is uniquely him and he can decide who he wanna be, regardless of what other people say. And well, if he wanna identify with the asian culture, as an asian myself, I would 100% approve that.
Imma say this. It’s completely okay if the baby came out looking like one of the parents. As a mixed person, I don’t ever wanna put my own kid through that dilemma of looking white or black. Just teach them, they are perfect as they are. Black or white regardless, imma love them.
I think you have a very beautiful family. I also think Brooklyn very much looks like her mom, regardless of the color of her skin. With this amazing and supportive family, I think she will grow up to be strong and beautiful and confident in who she is. ❤️🥰
Beautiful family don't mind what the trolls say lot of evil people in the world
What’s beautiful daughter and I’d say she IS definitely her mums girl.
Stunning family and the mum and dad are perfect together 😉🙏🏾❤️
My mom was told by many people that she must have gotten the wrong baby. My father is white and we did not allow people to steal our joy. My father did not allow racist comments. 😊😊😊😊😊
That baby is beautiful just like her momma. I cant wait to see what she looks like as she gets older.
I work in a daycare and a lot of my babies are mixed. I've learned that there's no real rhyme or reason to what racial traits a kid does/doesn't pick up. I can't fathom questioning a child's parentage. That baby is very clearly the child of this couple. She has dad's eyes and coloring, and mom's nose and face shape.
Block all trolls!!! Don't pay them any attention they need a life cute family
Can we dox the trolls first, see what their employers think of their comments?
@@chassan10yes 👏 Love that idea.
What a beautiful family
Brooklyn so beautiful....Ppl can be cruel...
But as Brooklyn knows who she is...she will have the tools to face any bullying.....
Give a update in 10 years please...🎉❤
People can be so mean.
I wish them nothing but love ❤️
Awwww that's so awful, but you guys are so amazing and Brooklyn is so beautiful. Just raise her with lots of love, and teach her that we do have people in this world who are not nice or intelligent. Don't feed into the ignorance in this world, you guys are amazing🙏❤️🙏❤️
My son looks nothing like me he's bi-racial, black and white, and has Down Syndrome. She doesn't have to prove or defend who she is. That doesn't mean being a door mat or sweeping things under the rug. Honestly, I wasn't going to comment because I feel like all we do is comment, defend, go against, give people our opinions about everything, tell the world about everything thing and in reality we can chose to be, to live, and not always take a side or a stand on things. As a mother, I want to defend my child and my family, and in certain situations, I do and will, but sometimes I have to consider the source and see whether it truly matters. I wish your family all the best. She's a beautiful baby girl!
Thanks for sharing, I can relate… I’m black and my husband is white. My youngest child looks Hispanic. We got a new teacher at the daycare and she 8:48 didn’t believe my child was mine when I went to pick her up. She was checking with management which is fine but the look on her face of disbelief is what got me.
I love that she have her sister to STAND UP for her
I don’t see what the problem is, the baby is healthy and has good parents.
Exactly. I'll never understand people that live for tearing others down.
@@kristinwojtowich8902WELCOME TO AMERICA 🇺🇸
Such a beautiful family ❤ Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful family, I don’t understand why the hate. The jealousy gets the better of people.
I'm going through the same thing where I live (Jamaica) I'm black woman my husband is a white Jamaican and our daughter looks just like him
I copied and pasted 😅 they call the police on me more than one time for kidnapping😅😅😂
Omg, people really did that?! 😳 That's crazy!
Oh my God?! I thought crazies were only in the US! Sorry love
Beautiful baby Beautiful family. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a gorgeous family! I can totally see Mom in that face! Babies change sooooo very much, and even if she grew up to look exactly like she does now- it shouldn't matter. Chances are she will change though and I wouldn't be surprised if the day comes where she looks a whole lot like mom! That's what's so wild about the negative comments, particularly how "hurt" some claim they would be if their baby "didn't look like them." Why would you be hurt? Why would you take offense to that? It makes no sense to me.
Such a beautiful family ❤
What a beautiful family! ❤❤❤
Your family is absolutely beautiful!!!
Mom is of mixed heritage herself. you can see it in her mother.
just wait until this beautiful family has grandchildren.
Such a beautiful family ☺️
She is the cutest baby i ever seen! Beautiful family! ❤❤❤
Some people are revolting. So damn rude.
Her sister is so articulate and well spoken. I mean, they all are, but the sister's perspective is so on point.
Your family is so beautiful!! It doesn't matter what people think or say, There is no color or race in love. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷✨❤
Everybody says my kids looks Samoan. I'm Irish and their father is blasian aka Korean and black. People think I adopted them or they got switched at birth. 🤦🏻♀️
I know the feeling she going through. My child is Puerto Rican, which she lughter than me as I'm brown skin. Everywhere I would go would as me if she my child or if people knew me, they will ask who child did you rob. It does gets frustrating at time. Just because your child doesn't have the same skin color as you dont mean that child, not yours biologically. People will always talk, and I have learned not to care.
This is a beautiful family 💚
She looks like both of you!!! So cute 😍
It’s sad that people so often project their worst selves in comment sections. That people think their biology 101 understanding of genetics is sufficient to invalidate a mothers relationship to her own child is absolutely wild and awful. Genetics is obviously not a simple thing, and that is typically made clear in the average bio 101 class too. So for those commenters to act like it’s so clear and straightforward just shows how much they were skirting that subject so they could vent their own bias and upset.
Im glad that in this case the family was able to see that rather than take those comments on. This is a beautiful, close family and I’m glad they saw through those commenters in the end 👍
You have a beautiful family. Don’t let the negativity bring you down. Sending lots of love.
New subscriber. Congratulations beautiful family
People’s (trolls’) opinions are exhausting 😩. Live and let live people jeesh
She’s a beautiful baby! I can totally see the mom’s features in her daughter’s face. Very apparent.
She’s one of the most beautiful babies that I’ve ever seen. God bless this loving family.
Baby's skin tone will be more balanced between mom and dad as she gets older unless dad has a line of redheads that he's decendant from
Not necessary. It's stupid myths like this that makes people like little brooklyn have hard lives.
I think she's absolutely adorable. Its terrible what people say. We r one in God's eyes
Beautiful family! God bless you all ❤
You’re all beautiful. God bless
Beautiful family 💜 Hope the awful comments don’t get you down! She’s a happy healthy baby with happy healthy parents and anybody that wants to criticize should consider working on their own happiness. Love to your family 🥰✨💖
The title should say “Ppl who didn’t take 7th grade biology say she’s not mine” 😂😂😂
She's adorable and blacks can have white children. My parents are black but DNA proves they are my parents but myself and my twin are white
So both parents are black and you are white?
True, I saw a video a few years ago of a Nigerian couple who had a white baby with blonde hair and blue eyes. Doctors did DNA test as well as testing for albinism which came back negative and the doctors didn’t have an answer for how all their other children were born dark skin except for that one.
@@Stanna44
She's white passing but not white
Your daughter will love you both unconditionally. She is a very fortunate girl to have you both. Love to your family
I love you're family and i send you are the love ! You deserve love !!
What a sweetie pie from two loving parents. The world needs more loving parents like them.
i despise when people think children have to match parents in color multi racial families will not always be the same and they are still so beautiful no matter what trolls say let them hate your a beautiful loving family and i wish people would leave you alone and let you live your life she is gorgeous and i see both of you in her
Absolutely gorgeous baby! Bless your family 🙏
Your baby is beautiful & looks like both her parents🥰❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous family! Ok I figured it out...Brookyln is Grandmas twin❤💝 Mogan you & your family are beautiful ❤❤❤❤😊

Amazing Family💕🙏🏽
What a beautiful family. 😍
Im so happy for them. That baby girl is so loved and it shows 💕 there good and loving parents, may they be blessed with lots of happiness now and more to come😊
I'm mostly Guatemalan but I have Chinese in me too. I've been asked often if I'm Filipina. I look both I think. Hispanic with some Asian. It's cool.
And that baby is sooo cute and beautiful! Gorgeous. I love babies.
Remember no matter what anyone says, you have a lovely life.
Beautiful family ❤
First of all, you have a beautiful family. Your daughter is beautiful no matter what her skin color is and people really need to grow up, but may God continue to bless you and your family.
Two of my granddaughters are bi-racial. Mom is Brazilian and is of African descent . My son is fair and blue eyed.
The girls are a beautiful. mix of both parents. Their skin is a creamy brown.
People ask him if the girls are his . Often in front of the girls. He says yes and why do you ask.
Still is hurtful.
Sorry are about how racist act and speak in such hateful ways.
Enjoyed your video.
Thank you for sharing .
Our family is diverse.
A mix of race and ethnicity. Religious background.
Sending my care and support.
Your daughter looks just like your mom! As soon as she walked in, saw the resemblance! Coming from a mixed race family, I know the struggle well. I'm the darkest skinned person in my family and I always get questioned about it. You have a beautiful family and I appreciate you sharing this.❤
She is adorable! What a beautiful family 💜
Beautiful Family
Ignore the haters! my child is biracial, and I'd never change anything, ever! Your a beautiful family ❤
Beautiful family. God bless and keep u.
I’m so very sorry that people are so mean, enjoy your beautiful family.
Off topic, but i absolutely love her sister's vibe ❤ ahes giving free love , one love hippie and thats my jam. I LOVE her locs 😍 ive been wanting s
Partial dreads for years but no money to have anyone do them. One day, i hope! Beautiful lovely family. I hope they are able to find peace and learn to shut off their reactions from ignorance. Sadly, these people and their ignorant views will never go away. And frankly people love to destroy anything happy. It would be amazing if people were just color blind bc it really is absolutely irrelevant. We are all the same inside. period .
Don’t give the haters the time of day. Totally ignore them. They don’t exist.
You are a beautiful family! My oldest is half Latino. He is a beautiful mix of his dad and me. ❤ His hair got darker and curlier as he got older (especially during puberty)😊 Life is wonderdul and genetics are fascinating.
Beautiful family
You are a beautiful family. My mom is mixed also my mom has white skin and blue eyes she passes for white. I have a darker completion and everyone always ask me if that's my mom.
My mom always told me im beautiful with my brown eyes and brown skin. Im proud of the person i am and i love my skin colour and my mom is beautiful exactly how she is. Wouldn't trade her for the world best mom ever!!!❤️ Your daughter will be proud to have a beautiful mom that takes excellent care and that loves of her daughter. Love is the only thing that matters.You are both very blessed!!!🙏🙏😊 When people are so ignorant and petty put it in God's hands and he will take of it. Stay proud and happy. Petty people are unhappy with themselves. Donot let them get the best of u. Send out positive vibes!!!!❤❤
The happy eating dance is adorable
A beautiful family!
