yeah it can happen , they are called throwbacks, a family i knew had this and the only person that was coloured went back 3 generations, but some of the kids where born with Caribbean hair
and some couples that have dark hair can have a blonde or a ginger baby
and visaversa

I think that the odds are more likely that the woman slept with a black guy and is now trying to pas the baby the baby off with some story about how she has black relatives or something.
But apparently it is possible for 2 white parents to have a black child, but I am guessing the odds are more in the favour of an affair.

Yes it happens. I have a family fiend that happened to. their Daughter was Black and both parents were white. Usually its caused by having some black origin somewhere down the line. This couple didn't know and researched their family trees and found that there were black relatives.

Slim to none. But it can happen. In the history of that there has been a rate of like 14% of white people having black children. It is just in your genes. There is now way on how it happens, there would just be black relatives in your or his past family, even if it goes YEARS back.

Well i remember seein a case about this on tv and the lady had a black baby and her husband left her thinking she'd had an affair so she brought it to court to prove it was his and it turned out that like 100 years before or something he had a black blood relative and the genes were passed on etc and he had a black baby.
nobody knows why it happens especially after years and years but it can and has happened.

not possible unless there has been black blood somewhere in the family history. If there has been a black person in the family then the likelihood is higher. Sometimes the black genes can skip several generations however, resulting in a 'throwback'.
It just depends which genes you inherit from your parents.

I have actually seen a couple on TV who had twins and one was black and the other white apparently it is a genetic thing which is to do with chromosomes and how the eggs are fertilised by the male sperm.

Maybe if somewhere down one of the lines one of the parents had some black in them.. That would be the only way that I can think of....

i think your more likely to have a tanned baby than black.
if it happens its called a throw back. which means someone on either side of the family could have been black, italian ect
