My daughter is 1 month old?

and she is biracial. Her father is black and I am white. She looks white! She has her father's features, but my question is...will she get darker? If you look at her you can tell she is african american but most people just think she is a little white girl, lol.

I honestly don't care what color her skin is, but everyone keeps asking me if she will atleast get to a shade where people will identify her as being mixed.

Answer:
I am white and my hubby is black. My son was very white when he was born. He is 16 months old and is kind of olive. And yes, people know that he is mixed. His hair was straight when he was born , now it's so curly! My bf's daughter was the same way now she's 18 and pretty dark. That's my experience
hi
who cares? Will it affect her life? Doubtful...
I don't think she will get darker but i am not sure.
generally the eyes are the only thing that change colour on a human but skin tone may change a little
I don't know of any way to predict this. Sorry. Enjoy her for what she is.
Some do get darker as they grow older. Some stay the color they are now, others get a little olive tone look to them. It should not matter really.. as long as you love her, her daddy loves her, and the rest of the society can go on with their own viewpoints.

Its not the color of the outer skin any way. We all bleed the same color of blood...RED.
It is good to know you don't care about what they think. I hope you can raise her to think the same way you do.
I am white but I would love to be mixed. I think that those people are beautiful.
I think that your daughter might get darker later, but not a lot.
Most likely she will. Most children, regardless of race, go through physical changes early in life. Skin color will become slightly darker, as the skin matures, hair color, and texture may change several time, eye color will make some subtle changes as well.
Her skin color probably won't change but she might tan very easily as an adult, which would make her look darker. My husband is part white, and part hispanic, and he looks white in the winter and hispanic in the summer!
keep her out of the sun and i'm sure she will be beautiful!
From what i have read it takes a couple of months for a child color to come through. if it will at all. so only time will tell how colored your baby will be.
I had a friend that was biracial and she looked white until she hit puberty. She was beautiful. The color of her skin can range depending on if whose dominant trait she got.
She may or may not. At this point the chances aren't good.
as your daughter gets older she will most likely take on some darker features. all the people i know that have biracial kids all started out looking like white little ones lol! then they change. heck my daughters father and i are both white and my daughter came out with wavy black hair and had features of an african american. now shes pale as a ghost and changed a whole lot!! lol..
It's all down to genes, some people get white features (slimmer narrow etc) with black skin. Some get black features (larger nose, eyes etc) with whiter skin.
My best friend just had her baby on oct. 28. Same situation, she is white, the Dad is black. The baby was born as white as my ***, but has gotten tanner over the past 2.5 months. This is my friend's second child with the same man. She said her first was the same way. Now her older child is 3 and looks like a beautiful mixed baby.
I think that skin tone could darken slightly, but I am not totally sure, I think mixed race people with white skin and black features are stunning, she will be a very pretty little girl.
If you really want to know, people say to check the color around the edge of the ear and that will be the baby's complexion.
If it doesn't matter to you what color her skin is then why even what to know. If her skin is already white then it is most likely going to stay white. But a few hours out in the sun everyday might make her skin darken so that people will know that she is mixed. But this is just what I think.
She might end up being a little tan. I did, but I still have blond hair and green eyes. My father is black and my mother is white.
who cares, who are these people? idiots.
Why does it really matter. You know that she is black. Who cares that she looks white. Is that a bad thing?
YES! My baby cousin (now 3 yrs old) was born super super shrimpy and white and now he is really black...well you can notice it...babies come out realy light and then get dark...all of them do!
my daughter is half white(i am white) and half puerto rican when she was born she was so pale she looked all white now she has a tan shes not dark dark but she definitely has a nice tan that i wish i had lol!
she may or may not depends on whose color genes she takes but why does it matter the world doesnt have to know she is mixed..thats not even the important part
yes she'll get darker xx
