What ethnicity is my husband?

Question

My husband is adopted and we are not sure. We know he was adopted from European parents who had him in an american hospital than went back to Europe. He is pale white, Dark brown hair, Dark green/ Hazel eyes, Hairy body, prominent brow, Type A positive blood, defined jawline, tall, athletic build.If anyone knows from those hints or if anyone can help me with a website to go on and figure out what country he may have originated from, that would be great!?

I think you mean ancestry not ethnicity.......... ethnicity is cultures and customs, affilations and associations an individual person has from their home and country they are brought up in, so you know what that is............

As far as 'looks' go you can't tell from looks where someones ancestry is from, the discription you give fits Europeans any website which offered to do what you are asking  would quickly be blocked as you are asking about stereotyping, at best it is ignorant and at worse racist...............

There is no legitimate Website that can determine ethnicity by appearance. People can guess, but it is totally worthless.

The laws are changing regarding adoption records, so start by Googling adoption records + the state where he was adopted. He may be able to find a name or names on his true birth certificate or other information. States vary from providing NO information to providing health and non-identifying information to providing a copy of the true birth certificate to helping arrange reunions if both parties are amenable.

There are many resources for finding birth parents such as registries where families can look for each other. His birth mother may already be looking for him. CyndisList Adoption is a great place to start.
