Can a Baby Look Like Both Moms?

Published in Family & Relationships 2 mins read

This question is a bit tricky, as it depends on what you mean by "both moms."

  • If you're asking if a baby can look like both its biological mothers in a surrogacy situation: Yes, absolutely! A baby conceived through surrogacy will inherit genetic traits from both the intended mother (who provides the egg) and the surrogate mother (who carries the pregnancy). This means the baby can resemble both women in various ways, such as eye color, hair color, facial features, and even personality traits.

  • If you're asking if a baby can look like two mothers in a same-sex couple: This is a bit more complex. If both mothers are biologically related to the child, then the baby will inherit traits from both of them. However, if only one mother is biologically related to the child, the baby will only resemble that mother.

In either case, it's important to remember that genetics is complex and unpredictable. While a baby may inherit some traits from both mothers, they may also develop unique features that resemble neither.

Ultimately, the question of how much a baby resembles its parents is a matter of individual genetics and chance.
