are blue eyes becoming rare now?

Like I said in the other thread. It is the preconditioning that we grew up in. Pictures in media and in print always seem to link blue eyes with blondes. And you cannot deny, with some airbrushing, blue eyes are quite attractive looking due to the radiance of the color of the eyes. Not that other color eyes are less attractive. Put them all together, the blues ones seem to stand out first.

i wonder if the human mind is just attracted to that color or something..

i dont know.. it seems like a lot of people are fascinated though.. and especially if they have blond hair.. i dont get it..

apparently in sweden there are a lot of babies born there with them which is why people adopt from there.. until i read it i didnt think anything about it though..

Maybe someone will want my son. He is such a pain today LOL My ex husband has brown eyes and so do yet, yet we had a blue eyed baby.

guess it was hidden in both of you and skipped your generation then hit your kids

cool thanks for explaining that!! i didnt know that

Not quite. Yes two blue will always produce blue. But the 75 percent figure is only correct when a blue eyed person has offspring with a brown-eyed person who carries a blue recessive gene. If a blue-eyed person has offspring with a brown eyed person who has two dominant brown the offspring will all be brown-eyed but carry the recessive blue gene. I will give examples for a couple having four children, remember brown is dominant so anyone with at least one brown will have brown eyes:blue eyes (blue+blue) with blue eyes (blue+blue) -- four blue (blue+blue) blue eyes (blue+blue) with brown eyes (brown+brown) -- four brown (blue+brown) blue eyes (blue+blue) with brown eyes (blue+brown) -- one blue (blue+blue), three brown (blue+brown) brown eyes (brown+blue) with brown eyes (brown+blue) -- one blue (blue+blue), two brown (blue+brown), one brown (brown+brown) brown eyes (brown+brown) with brown eyes (brown+brown) -- four brown (brown+brown) While the blue gene is recessive, the dwindling numbers of blue eyes have as much to do with demographics as genetics. Blue eyes tend to occur in european and nordic countries and they are having less babies. There are simply more brown -eyed people and they are having more babies.

I am well aware of how it works, I just gave a quick explanation for people not that interested in genetics, Pardon me I should have been more precise.

thats true all the races dont have blue eyes.. so yeah that makes sense

haha probably on blue eye psycho running around your country giving all blue eyed people a bad name

awww i bet they were!!

i agree.. i dont think anyone should have requirements on what they want their kid to look like.. its so freaking superficial

yeah your right really cool green eyes are rare.. and thanks!! im glad to see your back posting!! seemed like you disappeared for awhile

thats weird it skipped a generation.. but i have to laugh at you saying he has your butt.. you dont hear that often haha

i think they may have to be like orphaned or something because yeah i read a few places that single parents are accepted well there.. http://library.adoption.com/International-Adoption/International-Adoption-Sweden/article/1424/1.html some sites either dont say how many and others say different amounts.. im wondering if maybe what i had originally read/heard was including numbers that may be from the black market to where its not actually being counted or something.. who knows.. but i know im not used to hearing of Sweden being a country to adopt from.. i always hear of other places

http://library.adoption.com/International-Adoption/International-Adoption-Sweden/article/1424/1.html "A Swedish child adopted by an American citizen must obtain an immigrant visa before he or she can enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. There are two distinct categories of immigrant visas available to children adopted by American citizens."

That information is missguiding people.An american citizen can only adopt a child in Sweden IF he or she is married to a swede and most likely through a third country like Colombia or India. But to the real topic: I don´t think that blue eyes are so raren real blond people are rare to finf but not blue eyed. And the myth that a brown eyed and a bue eyed parent omly gets browned eyed children is totally wrong! If you look att my avatar you´ll se a fairskined,blond and blue eyed babyboy with me- that´s my biological son.

pasted correct link below.. this one above had shown up in the search that was specific for Sweden and i thought it was from the article i had originally read but its not. the other link explains all rules and necessary procedures for Americans to adopt Swedish children.. no matter what there is a black market any where for anything.
