Both of his parents are African AMerican..so how could this happen?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Boy, will he break some hearts someday......Down the line somewhere, there is a realtive who had blue eyes--most likely a caucasian person. I would say at least 2 generations back, since his skin is a nice even brown. My husband and I both have brown eyes and dark hair, but our youngest daughter has beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. Genes from our ancestors are still a part of us. There are some children who are born to caucasian parents, but are born with darker pigmented skin--somewhere in the past, a black or brown skinned person was a part of the mix. We are all who and what we are, and we are all beautiful in our own right.
