Inter-racial families/couples

My boyfriend is 1/3 Puerto Rican, 1/3 African American [his mother] and 1/3 Indian. I'm Puerto Rican American [was born in New York, my mom was born in Puerto Rico and my dad in New York].

Dad:African American and mom is Caucasian

My fiancee is African American, I'm Irish, Scottish, French, English, Italian and German: I definitely took on the Irish/Scottish features, pale skin, freckles etc.

My fiancee's niece had three children with a young man who is Puerto Rican. The oldest has dark brown hair with large curls, brown eyes and a dark complexion. The middle child has light brown hair with tight curls, bright blue eyes and a slightly tanned complexion (when I take him out, everyone thinks he's mine because we look A LOT alike.). The youngest who was just born about a month ago, has blondish hair (???) and blue eyes with a very light complexion. The more she had the lighter they got. They have some of the same facial features but if you didn't know they were related, you probably wouldn't guess.

I can't wait to see what our children are going to look like!

My son is bi-racial. His dad (who unfortunately has never been a part of his life) is Black and I'm White. He has such pretty hair when he lets it go natural. I used to take one of his curls and stretch it out and let it spring back while saying "stretch it out; springs right back." :laugh: Unfortunately he always perms it straight. :frown: He has such pretty eyes and has always gotten compliments about them. They are hazel (brown/green) in color.

My boyfriend is 1/3 Puerto Rican, 1/3 African American [his mother] and 1/3 Indian. I'm Puerto Rican American [was born in New York, my mom was born in Puerto Rico and my dad in New York].

1/3? How did that happen?

I'm black and cherokee (can't really tell besides the cheekbones and long hair), my oldest daughter is black/white, and my youngest is black/hispanic. My oldest looks like a caramel version of me, but my youngest looks adopted hahahaha and everyone asks "are BOTH yours?" yes for pete sake!!



IDK how to post pics on here but that's the link :ohwell:

I'm irish/german/african american/native american. Husband is African American and Creole with Beautiful thick, glossy black curls, light skin, and freckles. Our baby girl is light skinned has daddies curls, and my big brown eyes. She's GORGEOUS.

This might be a bit off topic but when I was in middle school in a small school I knew this man who was African American, very dark, and with all the normal features. EXCEPT, his eyes... a BRIGHT BABY BLUE!!!!!! This man was 30 something or so and it was the neatest thing. He was married to the secretary or something so that's how I got to meet him. And it was the coolest thing ever to meet someone like that!!

Anyways, I'm basically English/Irish/German and the family reunion of 80+ people are allllllllll the same. I'm married to another white person but he is NOT the same complexion as me at all. He's part Italian, has an Italian last name and really took on all Roman/Italian traits. So when we have kids it will be interesting to see how they turn out as I'm pale with dark blonde hair and blue eyes and he has black hair and black eyes but is also pale. Lol.

His sister is married to a Nepalese person she met in college and they just had a kid. He is absolutely adorable! I totally agree that multiracial kids are the most beautiful babies! I used to wish I was multiracial in high school because every girl that was was so gorgeous. lol oh well! I'll make do with what I've got.

My boyfriend is 1/3 Puerto Rican, 1/3 African American [his mother] and 1/3 Indian. I'm Puerto Rican American [was born in New York, my mom was born in Puerto Rico and my dad in New York].

1/3? How did that happen?

We count his family's background overall. The 1/3 Indian comes from his relatives: grandmother and grandfather! Most of my family is just Puerto Rican so I'm just Puerto Rican American lol

I'm white, my husband is black. Genetics is interesting as each of our three kids are a different skin color. I'm as white as a gallon of milk and look ridiculous with them on a beach - lol!

A friend of mine is also like a milk bottle, she had a child with a coloured man, they have since split and he has no involvement in his child's life so the kid is surrounded by white people (very few coloured people in our area). The kid has the most beautiful colour of skin but one day when his mum went to collect him from school (only started school in September) teacher told her that during 'art & craft' he was covered in white paint, when teacher asked why he'd covered himself in paint he said...get this from a 4 year old...he wanted to be the same as everyone else!!!

My dad is black and my mom is white. I have some native american going back on both sides, but I've been told it's too far back to "count". My ex husband is white. People come up to me and ask "What are you?" all the time. Even random strangers x.x I'm human...I'm american...female...short...could you be more specific? :P I even had someone ask me if my hair was real the other day. Why yes, yes it is! I have a friend who's mom is Filipino, her dad was white, and she's in a relationship now with a white guy and they have a beautiful little girl who will be three at the beginning of next year. I can't wait to have kids of my own. Genetics is pretty amazing.

Edit:

genetics also gave me a short, round body and the eyesight of a bat. Well you win some you lose some ^.~

Sadly enough when I was born the nurse turned to my dad and said "Don't worry, she'll get darker"

-.- How ignorant! He just cared that I was healthy, didn't care what color I was.

Oh goodness I could go on for days. I'll get off this thread now.

I'm white British and my husband is Mediterranean (His parents are Cypriot) so our children are technically mixed race though apart from the enormous eyelashes and extensive body hair (seriously my eldest is like a monkey) you wouldn't tell they're both white skinned, light eyes and the beginnings of freckles.

I suppose i fit in here, im mixed race- indian/arab and my hubby is english. my daughter is a lot lighter than i am but a little bit darker than my hubby. so tends to look more italian/ mediterrean.
