| I once read a true story about a similar case.The parents were as white as you could be blond and blue eyed but they made a black baby, meaning a baby with curly hair, darker skin compared to theirs and dark eyes.The husband even wanted to leave his wife because he was sure the baby wasn't his.As it turned the mother was adopted and her adopted parents weren't sure what race she was and they never told her the truth.The mother's mother had been a white rich girl who had gotten pregnant by a biracial boy and because of the shame she had given up her baby up for adoption.The biracial boy had been light enough with straight hair to pass for a Mexican.His mother was white and his father was a wealthy African American lawyer. |
