There's no way that a baby can look like both of you because you would only be able to use the egg of one of you.

I suppose you could both get pregnant and then at least you would each have a child that shared some of your physical characteristics. Or, you could use a spem donor that looks similar to the non-egg-giving female.

Not very scientific but it's the best I could come up with!

Good luck!

I wasn't sure but thought I'd better give it the benefit of the doubt.

i dont know if this is real or not either nancy

but just incase it is, the only way i could think to have the baby possibly look like both of you is if the "other" one (your gf) had a male reletive to donate the sperm

The only possible way would be if you got pregnant and used someone in her families sperm, like a brother.

Another idea, is to use her egg, but have you carry it. That way it would look like her, but you would be physically connected to it too.

I dont know, I wouldnt think it would matter too much who it looked like if you really want a baby.

You could both have a baby and use the same sperm donor so the babies would be half-siblings! But what you are asking is impossible other than, as previous posters have said, you use the brother of the non-biological mother to be the sperm donor.
