What would happen?

I have a RAPTOR female and a tangerine albino male. Since the raptor already has albino in her, what will the result be?

Which strain of albino is your male? If your male is Tremper albino, you would get 100% Tremper albino tangerine, with different mounts of spotting, with het for eclipse.

If your male albino is either Bell albino or Rainwater albino you would get a genetic mess, they would look normal, but they would be Het for Eclipse, Het for Tremper albino and Het for whichever other albino your male is... if you do not have a tremper male (I mean, if your male is Bell or Rainwater) I would advice against pairing them

Yeah he's tremper albino. I know the dangers of mixing albino strains.

If I breed the babies to each other or to the raptor female will I be abe to get raptors?

Yes, you would, I would say it is better to breed with the mom, since babies are kind of similar genetically, while the mother has 50% of genes they do not have (I mean, the babies get 50% of their genes from each parent, which means, 50% of every parent´s genes the babies do not have), IMHO it is always better to breed back to a parent than amongs siblings, I am no breeder expert, but I have bred some, and I spend my share of time reading about their genetics.

Ok, I was planning to breed them back to the mom just to get a higher percentage of raptors. Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to keep them in mind xD
