I took DD to the dr yesterday. As we were waiting to pay the copay, she was sitting in her carseat looking charming as other patients came out of exam rooms. An elderly woman asked if her eyes were blue. To be honest, I don't know which way they're going, I think they'll be hazel. But I just said, "They look blue today at least."
She walked right over to me, gazed into my eyes, and said, "Well, you have blue eyes, hers will probably look just like yours."
I just smiled.
Re: Had a "she looks like you" moment
It will happen more and more!
The funniest one for me was when I went to a baby shower. There was a game where we posted baby pictures of ourselves and each guest had to wirte down who matched with picture. I was pic #6 and one of the guests said "#6 looks just like Shelby so it must be Lisa!"
trust me - you will get it all the time. We get it and Lil J is asian, well - a bit.
none of my 3 kids have the same father (that sounds really bad), and we get that Colin looks like frank (NOT), cora looks like Lil J, etc.
I have a friend that has an adopted child who is a totally different race, and even she gets it too

so cute!!!
My foster daughter looks just like me, even our case worker said "she was just meant to be with you guys! "
LOL, isn't it crazy! I was at the park last fall and a woman came up to me and said, "Are you __________ __________'s wife?" I said yes, and she said, "I figured because when I saw that baby, I thought, that must be (DH's) son--they look exactly alike." WILD. We get it all the time with my husband. Me, never, LOL.
HA HA...This is me...my daugther is AA and when I brought her to work, many people thought she was my bio child. Also, one co-worker, said "I know she was adopted, but wow, she just looks like you!" melt...felt like such a compliment!!!

"All for Love,' a Saviour prayed 'Abba Father have Your way. Though they know not what they do...Let the Cross draw men to You...."
We get this all the time too...and even today at lunch our birthmother told me that it's funny how much Payton looks like me. She remarked that Payton has my nose. We have family friends who think that she looks just like my baby sister (who also has the same nose as me).
My DH has also noticed Payton makes (or tries to) a lot of my same facial expressions, so I think some of it as they get older can be learned as well. She made a face at dinner tonight that apparently I make all the time! They mimic you and act like you and it's not all "looks" -- but enjoy it. I think it's so funny when people see similarities.
