oddly enough i don't look very much like either of them, though they always insisted i did. only in my relatively short stature i resemble both of them. i don't mean to be unkind and i'm sure they were my real parents, or at least the ones who brought me home from the hospital with them after i was born, and raised me, and acted like my parents for the rest of their lives. and they always said they could see the resemblence. and i suppose i do have some of their traits. but i have a hard time seeing that i look all that much like either of them. or like they did, i mean, when they were alive.
Fairly even when it comes to eyes, face shape etc.. people think I look more like my mum because of our dark/italian features, but I also got my dads Irish freckles My sister takes after the Irish(dad) side with her pale skin, ginger hair and very freckley skin. I took after the Italian(mum) side with more olive skin, dark hair and features, and ability to tan very easily.
Hmm, much more like father. But I'm probably a throwback to paternal grandfather. I've got salllow skin, black hair and (probably Southern) Russian features. When I'm in Eastern Europe - Poland and places, people start speaking Russian to me, just on appearance. Which I found kind of surprising when it 1st started happening. My brother has fair skin and brown hair, looks v little like me.
