I'm white and the baby's father is Moroccan. It makes me so happy to see how many people have responded here... oh all the beautiful mixed babies we are creating!
I have 2 mixed race sons who are almost grown now and they are beautiful. My 19 year old son is half black and half white, my 15 year old son is half Mexican and half white. They were both gorgeous babies and very handsome young men.
I'm white and my partner is half Persian (born and raised in Australia like me) I have fair skin with blues eyes (Irish ancestors) and he has gorgeous mocha skin and brown eyes- can't wait to see which genes trumph!
I'm Peruvian and my husband is Irish American. I'm not very dark more like nice tan with dark brown eyes and black hair. Husband was blonde s the toddler currently with ash brown hair and green eyes. We are very excited to see this mix, a first in both our families.
I'm Mexican born and raised, and my husband is Dutch born and raised aswell. We met online 7 years ago, and been married for 5 years. We are currently living in California, USA. We want our girl to be fluent in both languages, but she also needs to learn English, not sure how this is going to work out for her.

Babies and children understand very early on the difference between languages. They may need to mix them up because of limited vocabulary at first, but it gets sorted out on its own. I would focus on Dutch and Spanish, because the English will come on its own through playing with other children, hearing people around them, watching TV, and attending school. Also, research has shown that babies in the womb start getting acclimated to the sounds of the languages spoken around them, especially the mom's. I would just supplement with books and music from both parents' native countries. The difficulty will be more later on, when you will have to set time aside to teach the child to read and/or master the other languages. Don't let that go because being bilingual or trilingual is a huge advantage.
I'm so excited to see what my baby looks like. Im half Puerto Rican, but I'm also Ukrainian, German and English. The baby's dad is Italian and Czech. But he has strong Italian features. My baby will be so beautiful.
I'm Caucasian (Norwegian, Scotch-Irish, Polish, Danish) and BD is African-American. We already have the most adorable 5 year old ever and are expecting heart-breaker #2 in November!
I love imagining all these different races mixed together. There's a ton of cute babies coming.
My SO & I are both white. I have very pale skin with pink undertones & freckles. SO is Italian & German. His skin is a very pale, olive shade. Our little girl is going to be so pale. Haha!
I'm half Korean and Caucasian. My husband is a bit of a question mark because he is adopted and we know nothing about his birth parents. When I first saw him I thought he was a quarter Japanese! So he does have some interesting features that make me question if he really is 100% Caucasian. Who knows maybe there is some Romanian, Italian or potentially Native American in there. Secretly would love if we have the crazy surprise of having a light eyed or lighter hair baby (Both of us have brown hair and brown eyes) I'm thinking our kids will look pretty Asian.
My partner is white (Australian) and I am part white (NZ), Maori and Native Indian ☺ Can't wait to see if our son has chubby red cheeks, full lips and/or a darker completion like me or is fair with blonde hair ☺ Bit of both. So exciting.
I'm 90% European decent, 10% Asian decent ... My SO is African, European, Native American, and Japanese ... we will have very racially ambiguous babies I am anticipating !

Our son is gorgeous with such a beautiful head of hair. Not to sound biased! Can't wait to see what our baby girl will look like.
I love mixed babies!
