Just my unsolicited opinion.I am an American Citizen living in Santo Domingo.My wife is Dominican.We have a 4 year old son,and he has a 10 year old brother,my wife,s child from a previous relationship.We all live together.We chose to raise our son as a DOMINICAN.His "roots" are here,he goes to school here,most of his family is here,his friends are here.He is a dominican citizen,and an American citizen.We feel that a child needs to be part of a culture and a country.He knows that he has more family who live in America.His aunts,and 22 year old American brother come here to visit us. Someday he will go to visit there.He will probably go live with his brother to go to high school,or even the university.We hope that his "Heart and Soul" will be Dominican,with an American "Flavor". No matter where he goes in life he will be Proud to say,"Soy Tomas,Soy Dominicano!"Criss Colon
