I'm nearly 5 months pregnant, my husband is Asian (Thai) and I'm White, he would dearly love our child to come out blue eyed and fair skinned like me but I've told him that that is not possible as his dark, hair, eyes and skin are more dominant gene wise, but I have just read something to the contrary, anybody know if it's possible for a white/asian kid to take on the white features over the asian such as blue eyes?

Skin and eye colour are multifactorial, that is, it is not a matter of brown or blue, but of several shades in between. You could bet on a shade of skin in between you and your husband, of eye colour between green and brown, but blue is unlikely, unless your husband has some blue eye gene in his family. Same with hair, it could be anything between your colour and your husband's. Eye shape is a relative thing, I know several Thai people, and the epicanthal fold is not as prominant compared to other countries, say Vietnamese, Chinese, not that this should be any concern, just stating an opinion.

I think it just depends. All the asian/white people I know look more white and have whiter features. But I've seen a lot of pictures of asian/white people who look full asian. Most likely your baby will have brown hair and possibly hazel, green, or brown eyes. I highly, highly doubt they will have blue eyes. But then again they could have small dark brown eyes and black hair.

Fair skin perhaps, forget about the blue eyes.

I know one little girl whose dad is Korean and her mom is German, and she ended up with more typical Asian facial features, but with wavy blond hair!! Too cute!! Children seem to get their coloring more from their mother (in my experience) and maybe that's why most white+asian kids are darker because in most cases the mom is the Asian one. Anyway, I'm sure your child will be adorable no matter what his or her coloring is!

Why would you care. Just feed your kids good and make them future Keanu Reeves so they make you a loooot of money on the big screen.

yes you are right. his genes are more dominant. You never know, your child may look fair skinned and have blue eyes, but I wouldn't count on it

halfies are always on the better side of the spectrum: fairskin with larger eyes and happy hair.
Doesn't really matter anyway; s/he'll be hot. First gen halfies always are.
