The best thing you can do for your "potential children" is to 1st take care yourself, and keep a healthy mind. Then 2nd, know that you will be the best mother you can possibly be--WITH RESOURCES--do not alienate yourself from those places that support you both. Remember, folks that look at your "light skinned" nappy headed children
and judge them--that's their problem...
Both my nephew and niece have thick straight hair. My nephew's hair gets cut because it will get out of control. My niece is still an infant and she has a mohawk--both my brother's kids had mohawks as babies... Either way, folks will talk anyway. The reality is your the parent, love them and teach them...
Kids do have some resiliency. And they also have to be taught. If you need parenting skills, get them. Your best duty you can give to them is to be responsible contributing citizens of society...
