That darn redhead gene. It's like playing slots really. Trust me, the redhead Irish gene can pop up every now and then regardless of the parents coloring.
I am the only redhead in my immediate family, although I have a redheaded cousin or two, and I look too much like both parents to be anyone else's child.
It's been said that red hair is a recessive gene and in my family green eyes are as well. So I am one big walking talking recessive gene pool. It happens

Sounds to me like the mailman was involved with this one....this is why they invented DNA testing.

Previous family history.

I liked the other mailman answers but seriously, it's when the parents each have recessive genes for that skin tone and hair color.
For example, Man A has brown eyes but his mother had blue eyes and his father has brown eyes. Man A has both brown eye gene and blue eye gene. Woman A has brown eyes but her father had blue eyes and her mother had brown eyes. Woman A has both brown and blue gene.
Man A and Woman A's child has the possibility of getting:
2 brown genes (therefore brown eyes),
1 brown gene and 1 blue gene (brown eyes again 'cos brown gene is dominant )
or 2 blue genes (blue eyes).
This child has a 2 out of three chance of having brown eyes, but also a two out of three chance of carrying the recessive blue gene on to its own children.

genes are funny like that. I am a medium brown skin with brown hair and brown eyes. My blood brother with same parents is pale blue eyed and blond hair. the issue is dominant or recessive genes.

Haha El Guapo! There may sometimes be recessive traits. My very dark brown-eyed sister had a blue-eyed kid. She has a recessive gene for blue eyes.

The child could be adopted or both parents have the recessive gene for that skin and hair color

Forgetting about the milkman joke, look at both of their parents, and their backgrounds in general. There are recessive genes in every family. I have medium to dark complexion and one of my children is blonde and blue eyed.

I don't think its very likely unless the grandparents were lighter complexioned.
How can two black haired people with medium brown skin have a kid with light blonde-orangish hair %26amp; pale skin?
Either because the real dad is blonde and pale. Or because they both have ancestory of ligh blonde and pale which are mostly likely recessive genes.

genetics - specifically recessive genes.
i don't look like my parents, or my grandparents. Which was no big deal since my parents didn't look alike.
But my grandmother said i was the exact image of HER mother. Really.

There was a Chinese couple up the street from me named "Wong". Mrs. Wong went into the hospital to deliver their baby. He was born with blond hair and blue eyes, his father named him "Sum Ting".

Believe me, with genetics it is possible. You don't necessarily have to get specific traits from one parent or the other because they can come from past generations from other family members they may not have shown up in recent relatives. That is the way genetics work. However, more often than not you see more traits that are similar to the parents. But you have to realize that this is not always the case and kids don't necessarily have to look like either parent.

Assumedly "Pale Skin" is obviously a recessive allele as is "blonde-orangish hair". "Medium brown skin" and "black hair" is obviously dominant.
There are two "alleles" for each feature in every person, the parents of this child must have had the following alleles for the above phenotypes (features):
Man: Pale Skin : Medium-Brown Skin, etc.
Woman: Pale Skin : Medium-Brown Skin, etc.
The child would get a combination of these (one from the sperm the other from the egg) and the combination that would explain what you are describing would have to be
Pale Skin : Pale Skin, etc.
Assumedly then, the parents are both biracial

A genetic flaw that reduced melanin could cause this.

Thank Gregor Mendel and his wacky pea plants for this one.
He was the cat who discovered the wild world of dominant and recessive genes.
You get two genes for each trait. Each parent gets to contribute one of these genes from their own genetic bank. Since dark hair and dark eyes are both dominant traits, then it's possible that each parent may have one gene for dark hair and eyes, and one gene for light hair and eyes. This is called heterozygous (as opposed to having two genes alike, which is called homozygous). As long as you have one dominant gene, it is the dominant trait that will be expressed.
Now if each dark haired, dark eyed parent donated a recessive gene to their offspring, the recessive traits will be expressed. Of course, this means that the only way you can have light hair and light eyes is if you have two genes for the recessive trait.
So if you have blond hair and blue eyes, and your husband had blond hair and blue eyes, and you have a brown eyes baby....you got some 'splaining to do.

It can happen, its known as a throw back thru generations. I have a niece that looked asian when born a few cousins the same with 10 year age diff between them we're aussies chinese is about 8 generations back. every so many years a generation from way back wil show up. Childs hair colouring will change in time. My daughter was born orange tinge hair went blonde then brown now its brunette and shes 16 now.Check your family historymay be amazed what you find out.

The genes really do come more from the grandparent's.

There are dominant genes and recessive genes. Dominant genes overshadow the recessive genes. Recessive traits such as blond hair and blue eyes can appear in a family with dark hair and dark eyes when both parents contribute a recessive gene and they are matched up.
