How do you feel about your mixed baby?

Question

Was wondering how having a mixed baby makes you feel. I have a white and latino baby boy and I actually have another one on the way. He looks NOTHING like mommy but I swear he has ALWAYS been my love. My mom asks every once in a while if I feel connected to him since he doesn't even look like he could even be my child. It never really crossed my mind at first but every once in a while (usually when we take selfies) I see what she means. However even though he looks nothing like me I couldnt feel disconnected from him. I also have another son he is Latino with Latino and same thing. I guess because I carried them I feel that connection and their looks dont affect me at all?

Picture of us to compare

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry but what kind of half ass question is that? Your child doesn't have to look like you for you to feel connected.  My daughter is blonde with blue eyes. I have black hair and dark brown eyes. I've never felt anything other than love for her. She doesn't look like me but she's still my little princess.

Answer

You don’t have to look like a child to have a connection with them. Kids can be adopted, look nothing like their parents, and still have that connection and bond. My boyfriend and I are both white, but he’s very dark completed. I’m old as hell lol. My daughter seems to take more of his complexion than mine. She doesn’t look much like me at all. I still love her obviously. She’s my best friend lol

Answer

It seems like a really closed-minded point of view.

Answer

My little girls are Black & Salvadoran and I feel connected to them both even tho we don’t look alike. That honestly doesn’t even matter one bit.

Answer

Yeah that's strange that your mom would even ask that? Lol..My oldest looks like me, middle looks identical to my husband & youngest is a perfect mix between his sisters. My kids are all mixed with mexican & irish. The only one that looks any Mexican at all is my oldest.

Answer

Answer

This is my youngest. I have 3 and 1 on the way. They are Mexican and white. My husband and I love them with all our heart, even if they don’t look Mexican

Answer

Whoa... none of my kids look like me haha they all have crazy different complexions. Darker and lighter, none of them have the same skin tone. But NONE of them look like me. Latino and Irish mix. They don’t need to look like me for me to feel the connection of being their mama. That’s a odd thing for your mom to say?

Answer

I get a lot of comments on how she absolutely looks just like her dad, is she mine, am I the nanny, you fucking name it. Shut up and fuck off, lol. But no, in all seriousness at first glance she looks like him (red hair and blue eyes) but then if you look at her lip and nose and eye shape, it’s me. not to mention the curly hair. I’m half white and have no siblings so we didn’t know how my genetics are in my family so much.

Answer

I couldn’t care less if my child didn’t look like me.
