Why is my son biracial?

[avrillavignlover1]

my son's 6 weeks old. I don't know what I'm going to tell him about his dad. I know I was stupid and promiscuous. Reason why is because I'm addicted to heroin but have stayed clean 22 weeks. I was homeless and needed money to get high. I sold myself to get did anything to get it. I don't even like guys but at the time it wasn't about sex but about getting high. I'm clean since and have been living with family but they want money from me and I need child support. I am 15 and can't seem to get a job. I told 3 guys that they were the dad when he was first born. He looked dark olive complected curly hair and his features like his nose make it look as though he is of african american descent. But I wasn't with any guy of AA descent. The area I was in doesn't really have people of color there. I first guessed it was with this one guy who is a quarter Puerto Rican. But he's not the father and neither is the other guy who's Italian American. And the other guy wasn't. My son has 5 possibilities and none of them are anything but caucasian american. I'm caucasian american 3/4 italian 1/d english. I'm not that dark and none of my family looks like him. I'm just wondering like how can this be? I know these are pretty much the only possibilities. Why does he then look this way?

Why don't you just get a paternity test done to find out who his father is?

Hey, and welcome to TH.

Well, both of my parents have darker skin. Turns out, I got my skin color from my mom's side from my great great grandmother or from family before her.

It is possible for your children to have ancestor's features, but merely because it means you have it in you somewhere too.

I would suggest paternity tests too.
