Just interested to know what nationalities your kids are made up of and who does your child/ren most resemble?

My son to be will have a Welsh grandmother, Irish grandfather, Scottish grandmother and N.African grandfather. Wonder who he's going to take after!

Can't work out the percentages but my kids are Irish/English/French/Welsh/Danish in varying degrees. They all have Irish passports (via me) but since a recent school trip DS1 has been saying he wants a British passport like all his mates

Just found this thread and couldn't resist!! Dd - now coming up 20 months - is English/scottish/bit of Irish on my side, and her father is half Algerian Arab, half Moroccan Berber - so she should be a pretty tough little cookie as she grows up!

Before she was born, i was convinced i would get a green-eyed (me) and black-haired (her father) little girl. Guess what? Nature had a good laugh and gave me the complete opposite - dark brown eyes and endless eyelashes from Daddy, and my exact hair colour......and she is the most beautiful girl in the world : o

I am very English ( bits of Irish and Welsh in there somewhere) and DH is 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 indigenious Borneo.

DS1 looks very Eurasian, olive skin, round face, chinese eyes
DS2 looks entirely white apart from very slight epicanthic (chinese) folds he looks like me
