I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF ANYONE HAS KNOWN OR HEARD OF A BIRACIAL BABY BEING BORN DARKER SKINNED AND LATER ACTUALLY GETS LIGHTER? I KNOW BABIES CAN BE BORN LIGHT SKINNED AND GET DARKER WITH AGE BUT HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY SEEN THE OPPOSITE HAPPEN?

Hi there! My son was much darker as a baby/toddler than he is now at 4yrs old! His hair type also changed dramatically - he had tight curly hair as a baby and now his hair is nearly straight! So yes, it happens! Not sure how common it is, though ... most biracial kids that I know get darker with age .......

Not for me. My light biracial baby stayed light, and my darker biracial baby stayed dark.

My son is lighter than he was at birth. It can happen. My son as he has grown shows less ethic features than he did at birth.
