Blue eyed parents -> Brown eyed child

[mnewsham]

0% chance.

while it used to be assumed you couldnt get brown eyed kid from 2 blue eyed parents, we know that isn't the case anymore, it is certainly possible, just fairly rare.

So, your wife screwed around a little. Get over it.

or his mother screwed around a little an he is the bi-product -- get over it!! Your father doesn`t know any better and still loves you!!

Sure it was a sperm donor, no chance it was dad's friend doing a solid.

Married women cheat quite a bit and children born from these affairs are often raised by the father who never knows the difference.
Doctors run across this all the time.

The odds of the child having brown eyes from 2 blue eyed parents is lower than the odds of the woman having a sexytime partner outside of the relationship and then raising it within the marriage.


Lastly, you absolutely do not need both parents to perform a paternity test. If you want to check if you are the father all you need is your DNA and your child's. It will be extremely obvious if you are or aren't the father. (this is assuming you don't need consent from the mother).

But you certainly don't need her DNA to test if you are the father (not scientifically at least).

The final question: Do you really want to know?

For $1600-2500 depending on what stage of the pregnancy (I think they can tell as early as 6 weeks) they can do a DNA test requiring only the mom's blood and swabbing of the dad's cheek.

Post-term tests are much cheaper (a few hundred bux) and only need swabbing of the child's and parent's cheeks usually, but a blood test of the parent in question is sometimes done.

My nephew is green/hazel eyes. Mom is brown--- dad is blue or brown?

Bowie's heterochromia was caused by a punch in the eye as a kid.

I picked it because I thought his expression was apt for the question. 🙂

Can't know for sure in this.
