    Yes. Unlikely, but it can happen through a genetic mutation. http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask332

    Yes! If your grandparents had brown eyes, then that gene could be in your mother and father and pass to the child.

    Even two brown eyed parents can have a blue eyed child!

    Yes, very normal. Whoever said no is because they never studied science. I studied this.

    First of all you need to remember that brown eyes is predominant gene, if you and your partner have it which is most likely the baby will turn up with brown eyes. Just because your eyes are blue doesn't mean it is not there, cause it is.

    Check people in your family and you will see people with brown eyes.

    Also people with brown eyes can have kids with blue eyes, although less unlikely cause the gene is predominant, as long the gene is there it can happen

    I looked into this when i had my last baby - it is very UNlikely to have a brown eyed baby with 2 blue eyed parents.

    Yeah it's possible, if both of the parents have a recessive gene for brown eyes.

    Source(s): I've read a news story about a white couple that had a brown baby, genetics are just amazing

    Very unlikely but not impossible if the grandparents have brown eyes
