Is the bio father white? Even then, wouldn't a fair-skinned, blonde child be a stretch?

Looks like mom might be biracial. Maybe the little girl just got all the pale genes? She was a cutie pie! It’s always the damn boyfriend around here!

“Two other babies got a second chance of life out of all of this," said Coombs. "One baby got her heart, and one baby got four of her organs.”

They have said they heard the transplants were successful.

“The only comfort I can get out of all of this is that somebody’s prayers were answered," she added, "and her heart still beats -- heaven's much more beautiful now than it was.”

Mixed babies can be any skin color, hair color or eye color. I have a friend that has 2 boys, older one looks just like his black dad but with his mom's fair skin, blind straight hair and blue eyes. The other boy looks just like mom but with dark skin, dark curly hair, and brown eyes. Same mom and same dad for both.
