So we were all amazed when Heidi Klum showed up at the Emmys an hour after giving birth to her first child with husband Seal, but what amazed us even more was the first photos of the proud mother and her offspring on the cover of the dutch(?) version of InTouch(??!!). Baby Klum-Seal is SO WHITE! Where's the nappy hair? Where's the caramel skin? Where's the references to Mariah Carey's childhood?! You would think that with Seal's dark skin at least some African-American traits would wind up in this kid. The baby seal doesn't even have one acne scar! Could this be Auf Wiedersehen for the odd couple? At least the baby will make a fabulous coat.
Children of bi-racial parents specifically black and white often don't darken in colour until weeks or a month or 2 after birth. As for features any black person could tell you that the child does indeed look half & half. As for the nappy hair comment take a look at OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown's children, neither of them has really nappy hair. I'm half & half and until the age of 2 I had long straight. silky hair.

Babies of African descent are often born with lighter skin and straight, silky dark hair. The hair's not permanent and gradually falls out and is replaced with curly hair, while skin tone can darken significantly over the first several months of life.

I'm glad that we got a lesson on genetics and ethnicity over this article. I think the baby is UGLY, but not as ugly as his daddy!
