not sure if this was the right section to post this in.
It is possible for a white mother and a 100% dark hispainic guy to have a blonde hair and blue eyed baby boy?
I was thinking that my doctor got my due date off by a month! but now that I have been googling it I am starting to see alot of hispanic babies have blonde hair and blue eyes.
My fist due date they gave me was novemeber 20th, but then it changed to December 16th. Can it be possible that they got the due dates wrong. My son was actually born on November 20th lol
but if my sons due date was really december 16th then he would defently be hispanic but he dosent look like it at all.
If anyone has any suggestions or pictures I would love to see them...
I am thinking about getting a DNA test to see.

Is your concern he was switched at birth by mistake, or that the father isn't the father? I'm not judging at all- just unsure of what you think happened.

lol he wasnt switchewd at birth.
My concern is that the father isnt the father. If hes due date was December 16th, he would be hispanic, but since he was born 4 weeks early and had come out with blond hair and blue eyes I have always thought he was my ex. but I am seeing alot of hispanic babies w/ blonde hair and blue eyes and was wondering if it was possible.
I have always thought they would have dark hair and brown eyes.

Hmm. I think anything is possible. My Scandinavian-blooded husband is so dark you'd think he was Hispanic (and is often mistaken as such) but he has blue, blue eyes. The rest of his family is light skinned. Who knows why we end up with certain features and not others. Plus, I have heard a lot of babies start with light eyes, and they darken over time.

It's possible. First of all a lot of babies are born with blue eyes and they change later. I know a lot of Hispanic babies are born with brown eyes but he's not full Hispanic so your genes also play a big role.
There are Hispanic people with blond hair. It really depends on which country they originate as well.
If you don't know who fathered your child get a DNA test. Posting about it on a debate board isn't going to give you any definite answers.

I have a friend who is Hispanic and he has gorgeous light blue eyes. His little brother has brown eyes and light hair. A DNA test is the only way you're going to know for sure.

A DNA test is probably a good idea anyhow. It'll be easier now than if your child was older, in case there may be any disputes then.

It could also be possible if you know the blood types of the 2 men, yourself and the baby. Depending on what those types are you may be able to get a better idea who the father is. GL and I hope everything works out okay for you and the little guy.

I personally know a little boy with big blue eyes, very pale skin and curly blonde hair. His father is african american and has a very dark complection. Anything is possible.
I would really consider getting the DNA test though. Medical conditions could come up in the future that are genetic and it would be good to know.
Good luck!

My mother is part native with dark hair and dark eyes, I'm her spitting image. My brothers are blondes one with blue eyes one with brown. So anything is possible.
since blonde and blue are both recessive traits, it is entirely possible that someone who is very dark skinned and brown eyes to carry the blue eye blonde gene. I carry both  (my mother is brown and brown, dad is blonde and blonde so mom bas Bb (because my brothers don't have brown and brown, we know she has a recessive trait) and dad as bb for genes for both (he is blonde and blue, so he has to be double recessive), so I ended up with Bb and Bb for both.

It is possible!! I know someone who has blond hair, blue eyes. Her husband is Af. Am. her 2 boys both have really lt. blond hair and I think blue eyes! Genetics is funny! There are also cases (rare) of 2 white parents having Af. Am. baby because somewhere in the family live there was those genes.
But, if you really are not sure, you can always do testing.

When in doubt...get the test. It may be uncomfortable to deal with, but your child deserves to know who the father is for certain. Wouldn't you want to know for sure who your dad was if it were you?

Anything is possible.
I am half native, there for my children are all 1/4 native. I have the brown eyes and hair, but a light complection. DD#1 also has brown hair and eyes, and light complection. DD#2 has bright blue eyes and blond hair and is fairer then anyone in the family (DH is also brown hair and brown eyes) My brother is brown hair and eyes and light skin, his SO is also half native, and she has brown hair, eyes, and dark skin. All three kids have brown eyes and hair and lighter skin.
DB and I are both adopted so we don't know how anyone else in our family looks. DD#2 is the only one of 6 kids with exreamly fair skin, blond hair and bright blue eyes. My parents are both blue eyed, but they don't share a genetic link with us.
If it helps get the DNA test, its the only 100% way to know.

Thanks for everyones in put!
Well hes fixen to turn 2 so if his eyes were going to changed wouldnt they have done that by now? lol his hair isnt getting any darker, thats for sure, but I know when he gets old his hair will change and go darker. But he was born with kind of a dark complection first then but then around 6 months he got really fair skined.
I have been talking about it to my b/f (who we thought was the father but really hes my sons father cause hes been there since birth no matter what the tests says) and we are going to get tested just to make sure. I guess anything is possible.

It's also not a bad thing to drive with your seat belt on at all times, but does everyone do it.  That's water under the bridge at this point. I'm sure the OP is totally aware of the benefits of being monogamous.

How is that helpful? How is that anything but snide & judgmental?
