From the link in the OP:

B.A.: That was huge for me, too. His willingness to donate to help families like ours truly warmed my heart. We went through all this to make sure we acquired a black donor. What do you say to the folks who ask, “Why not choose another ethnicity?”

Nikki: I wouldn’t be able to provide enough support for our child’s other culture, and that’s not fair.

B.A.: It’s important, too, that we have black children that understand that being just black is beautiful. I know too many people who believe that black by itself isn’t beautiful or enough. That’s simply not true.

Nikki: I agree. We want our future children to love who they are. We’re both black and we want our children to reflect our genetic makeup.
