Hi im expecting with our first child (only 3 and 1/2 months preggo). Im 1/2 white, 1/4 japanese, and 1/4 filipino with very light tan skin, brown hair& eyes My husband is 100% white with light brown hair and blue eyes who burns easily since we live in San Francisco Cali. My mom looks FULL filipino instead of half. I was curious to see if my child would look more white or asian. Does anyone have or know 1/4 asian children? If so who did they look like most? if anyone feels like posting any pics that would be GREAT!
thank you

First off, congratulations! When's the baby due, early/mid September? Will your mom be around to help out? To your question, it's hard to say. I've seen many 1/4 Asian kids - some you can see the Asian, some it's pretty hard to find. I have a friend who is 1/2 Japanese, his son is 1/4 Japanese and it's really hard to see it. He has a Japanese surname, though, which gets him a lot of questions. His sister looks a little Asian, though not much really. Another friend is 1/2 Japanese and her husband is a fair skinned, fair haired Caucasian and their son does look 1/4 Asian. These things can change with time, though. One more friend who is 1/2 Japanese has two sons who have a dark skinned, dark haired Hispanic father. The older boy has very light skin and shows no Asian looks at all. The younger boy has a little more color in his face and you can readily see the Asian - he actually looks between 1/2 and 1/4 in him (using average looks). It's really hard to predict what a kid is going to look like, though. I have two friends who are each 1/2 Japanese. Neither of them looks very Asian, however. The mother looks Caucasian and the father looks Hispanic. Their son, however, looks 1/2 to 3/4 Asian! In short - it's hard to guess! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is easy

^I agree, it's hard to say. I've seen some that look completely Caucasian, and some that look completely Asian. It all depends on the parents and fate.

Ask me again in 2-3 years. We're working on it.

^Break a leg! Do you want a girl or a boy, or does it matter?

The wife demands at least one girl, I don't really care much.

^LOL, I'm a bit afraid of girls to be honest, I think a boy would be easier. Hope you two have a girl then, make the wife happy!

My 1/2 Filipino nephew had his 1/4 Filipino baby 3 months ago, and we were all curious about how her looks would develop. Now she has dark blue eyes and light brown hair, could pass for a european except for her father's "ethnic" nose. Some also say that her skin complexion is clearer than on regular nordic babies (which often have red spots). However, my 1/2 Filipina friend's baby (who is also 1/4) looks just as 1/2 Filipino as her and her sisters (dark hair, small eyes, but fair skin).

I have 3 nephews and one niece that are quarter-Japanese. The girl looks the most Asian. The youngest nephew looks a lot like that guy on CSI Miami, I think it is. Jonathan Togo or whatever his name is. With that last name, he may be half or quarter something himself but he looks more like my youngest nephew than his own brother does. My oldest nephew has a daughter of his own so she's 1/8 Japanese and that's a rare combo right now. In the future, it will be more common but for right now that generation is just being born.
