Some Info about Victoria:
Victoria is only half black, her mom is white and her dad is black. Her first husband was white and the result is that white daughter. Then she had a relationship with Jazz trumpet Wynton Marsalis (A brotha). and the result is that black son. I believe she's now engaged to that brotha Radcliffe Bailey.
First off MTO is late as hell with this story....about as late as my comment! 2nd, why do IGNANT negros assume that because you're black your baby has to look it too??? That woman is 1/2 white and the daddy is 100% white, therefore her daughter is 25% black and 75% white....what else is she supposed to look like??????
MTO- It's called Dominance Relationship and Recessive Genes.
President Warren Harding, J. Edgar Hoover, Carol Channing, the biracial daughter in the movie "Imitation of Life" and every OTHER person in history that has "passed" for Caucasian possess these genetic disorders.
Every human has two copies of each gene that makes up their DNA. In Victoria Rowell's case, her mother is White (Which gives you 2 sets of White genes); father is Black (Could possibly possess 2 sets of Black genes, presuming there is no Caucasian blood due to slave-trade rapes), and her daughter Maya's father, Tom Fahey, a Hollywood cinematographer/actor is White.
Victoria's son Jasper is the son of jazzman Wynton Marsalis, who presumably possesses the Black gene as his dominant one.
Therefore, if we breakdown the gene pool of the Fahey/Rowell/Marsalis clan, we have:
Mother (2 sets of WW gene) plus Father (2 sets of BB gene) equals
Victoria (2 sets of WB gene)
Then add Victoria's (2 sets of WB gene) plus Tom Fahey's (2 sets of WW gene, because his parents are BOTH White), and you get
Maya Fahey (3W 1B gene). In other words, the White gene is her Dominant Gene, and Black is her Recessive Gene.
If you perform the same exercise with Wynton and Victoria, you'll see that the White dominant gene stopped at Victoria, therefore giving Jasper the Black Dominant Gene and White as the Recessive Gene.
It's just science.
MTO you all need to stop being cheap and hire a F-T "fact checker" because yall stay spitting inaccuracies!! This girl was adopted by Victoria she did not come from Vicky's womb hence her hair and eye color. If you read Victoria's book you will find out all about this. The only biological child she has is the little boy.
DAMN Y'ALL GO THE FU*CK BACK TO SCHOOL PLEASE! LEARN ABOUT GENETICS....... YOU REMEMBER SEEING GARCELLE BEAUVAIS TWIN SONS? THEY LOOK WHITE BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS WHITE. SOMETIMES THE WHITE GENES SHOW MORE IN PHENOTYPE (PHYSICIALLY) EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BLACK IN THEIR GENOTYPE (GENETICALLY) SHOW BEING SOME GOTDAMN IGNANT! (IGNORANT).
That is Victoria Rowell's daughter. Victoria is biracial. Her first husband, the father of that little girl is white. It is common that the child would be fair and have features that reflect that.
Just because you have an ounce of black genes doesn't mean you will have full black fatures.
And that is her biological daughter. She is not adopted.
Online research:
"Meanwhile, in 1989, Rowell married Tom Fahey, an airline pilot. Shortly before the birth of their daughter, Maya, Rowell and Fahey divorced. Their blonde, blue-eyed daughter--Fahey is white--has caused many an uncomfortable moment when strangers insist she cannot be Rowell's daughter. The nurse in the hospital infuriated Rowell by not giving her the baby until she had checked and rechecked the wrist band identification. Being the daughter of a mixed couple herself, Rowell is careful to teach Maya about all of her heritage. When asked her color, Maya responds, "black and white." That's another problem with the foster care system, according to Rowell. At two and a half she was uprooted from the care of a white family because the system felt it would be better for her to grow up in a black family, even though she was just as much white as black."
Looks like she is STILL having problems with people believing this child is hers. SAD
LMAO!!!!! Look at ALL of the comments and see how many different stories are here...Everybody has a different story! LOL!
How about we settle it like this - It's not our business how Victoria became her mother or what the girl looks like. It only matters that she has mothered that girl into a young lady! GET SOME BUSINESS!!!!!GET YOU SOME RESPONSIBILITIES and QUIT worrying about OTHER PEOPLES RESPONSIBILITIES!!!!! DAYUM!

The only biological child she has is the little boy. --------------------------------------- Thank you for that update. Any mixed child can be fair but she doesnt look like Victoria at all. I'm from Louisiana, where there are a lot of Creoles so we can tell if someone has black in them. Sorry, I just don't see in in that woman. I believe she was adopted.
Victoria is a huge advocate for adoption!!! She was adopted and she supports adoption 100%! I saw a show on her. Ive never quite known though if that was her biological daughter. They kinda have the same smile but I dont think it is. That's her biological son though!! I love Victoria and cannot wait for her to come back to Y&R[SPAM]!!!!!!!!
@MzDynasty and Sexykittee...THANX for the Kudos!
@MzzLisha - I'm not bashing you for your ignorance on the subject, but I AM interested in knowing just WHERE you get YOUR facts from?
Anyone who is/was a fan of Young and the Restless remembers when Victoria was pregnant with Maya, saw her on ALL of the talkshows defending her child's ethnicity and biological link to herself and Tom, as well as her explanation behind her passion on the subject of foster care, which is a result of her OWN beginnings, NOT that of her daughter.
Again, I'm NOT bashing you because apparently you didn't KNOW any better. And by attacking you, it will NOT foster an environment for you to learn something new. So, I hope that you take this correction in the respectful manner in which it is being delivered, and respond in kind.
In interviews, Victoria has said she was on a plane once and people thought she was her daughter's nanny! Her daughter's white genes are very strong. Her children have different fathers--the oldest by a white ex-husban and the other by the jazz player Wynton Marselis. Donna Summer's oldest daughter looks nothing like her either.
My son is bi-racial and he is blonde and blue eyed and looks as white as me...my daughter looks puerto rican....both have the same parents Their dad had jamacian and haitian as well in his ancestory (his dad) .
I dont understand all the hateful comments, my kids are beautiful! and they are no less Black or White...they will know both sides, and are loved by both sides, whats the problem??
@kdubya
there is NO way any ounce of african american genetics could produce that....mm mmm ( shaking head from left to right with eyes closed...I see you trying it)
This isnt true. Two African parents can produce an albino child and albino children are white skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes. Solanges son has blonde hair and green eyes. Black people come in all shades with different features. But I definitley see why people think this young lady is 100 percent white, its because she is. She isnt bi-racial.
THAT IS HER CHILD SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER I SAW HER ON OPRAH I THINK 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HER DAUGHTER HAVING THE BLUE EYES AND BLOND HAIR HER FATHER IS A WHITE MAN .
THANK YOU MUCH BUT NOT ALL MIX KIDS COME OUT BROWN SKIN WITH LONG HAIR AND HAZLE EYES LEARN ABOUT (family genes genetics)
PLEASE STOP IT MTO! You are pathetic and making black people look ignorant! STOP IT! I'm not even going to say anything! Go read my post about Karyn Parsons and her children. The same applies here. I'm biracial and very light, blue eyes, but no blond hair. You can never tell with mixed races! I can't stand MTO and their racism! Fred Mguambababbababa F^CK YOU! Keep hiding behind your computer bitch! Mad because all the biracial girls dissed you in school! Or should I say biracial boys!
Look at her daughter and look at a regular white girl! You can see she has something in her.
FeelingNoPain- Finally someone with sense. I guess they didn't teach genetics in American schools. A lot of you "blacks" on MTO most likely have white in you somewhere in family tree. Because African-Americans do not look like Africans! Poor Fred for even posting this he must have been teased in school for being black. I can't blame him then.
@ Feelin' No Pain THANK YOU! MTO is sooooo color-struck and mis-informed. Guys please if you can't read or never took a BASIC science class-watch the Dicovery Channel or somethin'...jeeze! My paternal Grandmother is 1/2 Creole and 1/2 Choctaw Indian. My dad's children (including me) range of very very fair to very very reddish-brown complexions. My older brother has 3 children all by white women-his oldest daughter has hair & complexion like Victoria's daughter & very few dominate 'African" features; in other words she looks alot like Victoria's daughter. My other brother's is one of the darker of my siblings and married to a fair skinned African American woman, they both have dark brown eyes; their daughter is very very fair with gray eyes. Get it together people and stop being soooo color struck...their are very few PURE races of people any more, and regardless...saying the girl is adopted is just because she obviously has stronger European features is just ignorant! I thought Wiite people were ignorant when it came to matters like this.....MTO has truly proven me wrong!...oh and by the way Tina Fey from SNL and "Baby Momma" movie is 1/2 Black. Anyone who watched the Bad Girls Club Season 2-Hanna is 1/2 Black! Look it up...
May 21, 2008. YOU KNOW SOMETHING I RARELY POST IN THESE DARN THINGS BECUASE THIS SITE IS REALLY NOTHING BUT A GOSSIP SITE AND SOMETHING TO LAUGH AT. I DO HOWEVER DRAW THE LINE AT YOU PICKING ON VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER. FIRST AND FOREMOST THAT IS HER DAUGHTER FROM HER BODY NOT ADOPTED. SO TRY SPEAKING ON WHAT YOU KNOW NOW WHAT YOU THINK TO BE TRUE. SECOND THE WOMAN DAM NEAR HAD TO SUE THE HOSPITIAL TO GET HER DAUGHTER BECAUSE THE HOSPITIAL DIDNT BELIEVE A BLACK WOMAN COULD HAVE SUCH A LIGHT BABY WITH BLUE EYES. HER HUSBAND AT THE TIME WAS WHITE AND WHO REALLY CARES SHE IS MIXED AS WELL. YOU MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT EVERY LITTLE STUPID THING BEFORE YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH AND THAT'S WHAT [EXPLETIVE]ES ME OFF ABOUT THIS SITE SOMETIMES. EVERYTHING ISN'T WORTH REPORTING ON AND SOME THINGS DO NEED TO BE LEFT UNSAID. THIS WAS ONE OF THEM.

DO YOUR DAM RESEARCH BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!!
Oh yea and the other person is right those of us who watch young and the restless do remember her being pregnant with this baby. MTO really needs to stop bragging about being the best black gossip site and try getting the gossip accurate. For the person who say they read the book, reread it. The girl isn't adopted she is hers.
Well, last time I checked Vicki was mixed so I'm not suprised to see this at all. I two cousins who are twins one looks like she is str8t black the other looks like Vicki's daughter. It's all in your heritage. MTO stop lookin 4 something that ain't there. Always tryin to start something
[SPAM].com/khubbard
The girls features (except the lips) are the SAME as her mothers! Y'all can't see past color? Dayum!
She gave birth to that child! Stop being closed minded! There's a book you should read called 'When She was White' by Judith Stone (true story)about a girl in Africa born to white parents but she looked VERY black or watch the movie 'The Human Stain'.
Genetics is a hell of a thing! Check your history, a lot of people passed back in the day and folks can pass now!
Albinos--The Origin of the Caucasian Race?
As new information comes down the pike, it is necessary to rethink theories that were once in place. The origin and labeling of the “so called” Caucasian, Negroid, and Mongoloid Races by 19th Century scientists, started racial groupings based on skin color by naturalists and anthropologists like Johann F. Blumenbach, JA Gobineau and HS Chamberlain. These men also equated skin color to psychological value and importance to race. Blumenbach named whites after the Caucasus Mountains because he thought the purest white people originated there. He didn't seem to realize the following:
Russia, Chechens, Armenians, and other Southern Russians are considered to have Black Negro origins and CAUCASUS MOUNTAINS PEOPLE ARE CLASSIFIED AS 'BLACK,' AND ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. The fact is, BLACKS HAVE LIVED IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA SINCE PREHISTORIC TIMES AND HAVE OCCUPIED THE BLACK SEA REGION SINCE THE TIME OF Senwosret/Sesostris (2000 BC) WHEN AFRICANS DOMINATED THE REGION (SEE 'HERODOTUS' ON THE COLCHIANS).
Senwosret/Sesostris
12th Dynasty - Tour Egypt
FROM AFRICA – NOT TO AFRICA!
Today The American Anthropological Association declares there is no such thing as race which is merely a “social construct.” If that is the new scientific principle, then….
MANKIND IS NEGROID! – THE ONLY RACE (ETHNIC GROUP) THAT EVER EXISTED IS NEGROID!
There are plenty of scientific facts to back up this principle. According to The South African Institute for Medical Research in review – Journal of South African Science, THE HIGH FREQUENCY OF ALBINISM IN AFRICA provides more clues to early African history. The Department of Human Genetics at the SAIMR is currently involved with numerous research projects, most related to human genetic disorders and population origins--one of these, ‘Albinism in African peoples’ having received particular attention because it offers new insights into the historical movement of peoples in sub-Saharan Africa.
The albinism syndrome shows parallels with sickle cell anemia. The carrier of the sickle cell mutation is at an advantage in regions where malaria is hyperendemic, which includes large areas of Africa.
About one in 35 southern African blacks is a carrier of an albinism mutation, a surprisingly high prevalence for a genetic disorder where the homozygote is at a survival disadvantage. It is postulated that the albinism carrier may actually be at an advantage, possibly also with malaria as the selective agent. It has been suggested that mosquitoes are less likely to alight and take blood from a lighter-skinned person and thus the albinism carrier may be at an advantage over darker-skinned people. The testing of this hypothesis is opening up a new line of research into malaria studies, which may yet show some other selective agent may be responsible for the high frequency of albinism in Africa. The new scientific genetic information derived from the Human Genome Project, an international effort to decode the information embedded in the human genome, confirmed to the world by scientists in the East Room of the White House (June, 2000). We all evolved in the last 100,000 years from the same small number of tribes that migrated out of Africa and colonized the world". "All human beings are 99.99% the same at the DNA level and the remaining 0.1% genetic variation that exist seldom segregate in a manner that confirms to the racial boundaries constructed by social political means.”
Many years before the Human Genome's Project announcement of its historical DNA findings on so called "race" (in June of 2000), historians have revealed that human beings, during the primitive era in ancient/antiquity Africa - The Origin of Humankind/Humanity states that due to the lack of knowledge about inbreeding (between closely related parents) they did not understand why their off spring were born with "white skin." Scientists say "white skin" is a form of Albinism (a genetic defected offspring -- lacking melanin).
Cystic Fibrosis was thought to be a disease that affects mostly Europeans, but there are studies that now confirm that the most likely origin of the mutation is the African Continent.
The CF studies also tie-in with population migration investigations. Since the common African mutation has also been found in Zambia and Cameroun, it too supports the Bantu Expansion Hypothesis. It is worth noting that the mutation has also been found in African-Americans, in Saudi Arabia and in Greece on the same chromosome background (haplotype), suggesting a single origin. The most likely origin of the mutation is indeed the African Continent.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) was first described in Europe in the late 1930s. It was later shown to be surprisingly common with, on average, one in 20 individuals of European origin carrying a CF mutation. It was widely believed to be absent or very rare in Black Africans and was taught as such to generations of medical students. Only a handful of cases were described in African Blacks in a period of over thirty years, although it was well documented among African-Americans. CF was originally thought to be present in the latter because of admixture with individuals of European descent.
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a rare, genetically inherited condition passed on by both parents to their offspring, resulting in a significant reduction in or absence of pigmentation in the hair, skin, and eyes at birth. Individuals with albinism are very fair-skinned and fair-haired, with (most often) blue eyes that can take on tones of purple or red in bright lighting.
But due to such lack of knowledge as to why their "white skinned" off springs came about, African mothers and fathers became more and more fearful and suspicions and began to separate their growing number of "white skinned" off springs away from the "black skinned" (pigmented) population.
Eventually most of the "white skinned" off springs of "African" mothers and fathers formed several groups and began to migrate northward through Egypt to another area of Africa which is now called Europe, seeking a more hospitable living environment and to escape the intensity of the equatorial hot climate of the great river valleys and great lakes region of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa which was then and still is South of what is now called Egypt.
The "albino" group moved up in the mountainous area during the Ice Age or Glaciations period that lasted thousands of years further isolating themselves from their original parent population in Africa. And by being in such isolated living condition for such a prolonged period they also interbred (within the existing parent groups) thereby creating additional "albino" offspring from "albino" mothers and fathers who were then and still are direct descendents of African mothers and fathers.
A mutation results in a change of the DNA sequence within a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type. There is blonde hair among the black Australian aborigines. That is an example of a mutation. Albinism is a good example of a mutation. Other examples of mutations are blondism or whiteness among monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees.
Biblical Evidence of White Skin
There are many cases of individuals turning white in Jewish biblical history. When God wanted to show Moses a miracle, he turned his hand "white as snow;" then God turned his hand back again to its original color of black. In ancient Israel when a man had a white spot on his skin or white or yellow hair, or white skin somewhat reddish, he was pronounced unclean. All people who were victims of this shameful disease were isolated outside of the camp or city and segregated.
Some theories equate Albinos with the origin of the Caucasian Race. This website has many validations for the origin of the Negroid Race, but what about the Caucasian Race? Certainly Frances Cress Welsing hit the nail on the head with her book, The Isis Papers (1991).
The White Race has the genetic inability and absence of melanin to produce the different skin pigments seen throughout the world. That absence of skin pigment creates the inability to produce colors. As a result, uncolored or white skin is produced. White Race genes are at a recessive global juncture. Recessive genes delineate body characteristics that are masked or not expressed when a contrasting dominant black or brown gene or trait is present. The black/brown genes create people who have curly hair and whose skin is easily tanned.
As the 8 per centers' recessive gene disappears, anthropologists are rushing to reclassify the world's Black and Brown Races. Through "Caucasian racial engineering" some Brown Races have become hypothetically "White." It has increased the White Race totals with a lopsided apportionment numbering system. The system has been designed to expand and extend White Race counts, which only amount to 8 percent worldwide (United Nations Population Division, 1+).
In “Echoes of the Old Darkland” by Charles Finch III, MD by a doctor of medicine (Yale) the following is quoted: “We propose that the ... population that survived the last glaciations in southwestern Eurasia was largely a group of albinoids who were better adapted to the ecology than their darker relatives who had originally colonized the area. These latter were gradually replaced by albinoids, though small groups of African aboriginal types long persisted on the North Atlantic seaboard because of the availability of Vitamin-D-rich salt-water fish. This “goodness-of-fit” of the albinoids in this northern environment was due to the more efficient Vitamin D production and utilization in the whitened skin in these sunlight-deficient latitudes and better cold resistance.
The Ice Age had the practical effect of isolating this marginal group from other populations for a prolonged period, promoting a consanguinity that would have allowed the recessive albinoid genes to express and propagate themselves. Creation of a new race via depigmentation is consistent with the tendency in nature of new species and subspecies to form out of marginal groups that have become isolated from their “parent” populations and subjected more or less abruptly to extreme environmental conditions, which generate intense selection pressure.” (Op. cit. p. 35) Albinoid mutation seems as good a speculation since the fossil data and genetic data both seem to rule in favor of a common, Black African ancestry for all mankind i know this is alot but people on here really need to know a if you want more go to stewartsynopsis.com
...she gave an interview ....she said the nurses did want to give her, her baby the day after birth.. The nurse wanted some sort of verification (while she was still in the bed with her arms out)---smh
I dont know where the adoption story came from.....now I confused? Because I watched her tell this story on tv
Getalifeyall thanks for schooling the masses. I remember back when Ricky Lake was on this Black woman in the audience was responding to a guest and informing them that Black people can create white people but white people cannot create Blacks unless one partner is Black. RICKY LAKE GOT PISSED and quickly cut the woman off and told her that that was her opinion. THAT IS WHY YOUR SHOW IS OFF TV HOE AND THE MESSAGE IS STILL AROUND! lol
TerrellGirl, YOU ARE so right, you are the one that was in the hospital having it for her and you adopted it to her that's how you know huh? DUH dumb girl they don't give bracelets in the hosptials to anyone accept the baby and the mother!!!!! Not the adoptive mother the mother. It's called a security measure to make sure no one walks away with the baby. the mother gets her bracelet when she is admitted to have the baby and the baby gets it's bracelet when it is born. If you look at the girl and not her skin color you would see she looks just like her mother. I am done with this thread it is some closed minded, ignorant people on earth I swear.
"Consider the daughter of the actress Victoria Rowell, who is biracial. She looks white, and her ancestry is 3/4 white. In the past in the United States individuals such as Maya Fahey, Rowell's daughter, would have passed into the white population or been absorbed into the black population. But this is not necessarily a choice she needs to make today, and it is not a choice that is even as important as it was in the past. I doubt that with a brother who is 3/4 black Maya Fahey will wish to pass and disappear into the white population and disavow her African American ancestry."
SMH. I find it ironic that people are coming hard on M T O about fact checking when they themselves can't even get the story right. That girl IS NOT ADOPTED! I repeat. NOT ADOPTED! That is her daughter. How many times do people have to keep posting Victoria Rowell's own statements about the birth of HER child before you guys concede that you don't know what the hell you're talking about? She was on Oprah talking about this and recently on Tyra Banks last year discussing how her daughter wants to be a model. She talked about people questioning whether she is her biological daughter, and she said she is.
The girl is not black. As much as black people like to always claim one as their own; the girl is not black. She's 3/4 white; hence her appearance. If you look closely at her features and not her skin color than you would be able to see that she has a ethnic look to her. What difference does it make it anyway? This child has enough to contend with on a daily basis, why must M T O publicize it on a public forum. She's still a child. Irresposible journalism!
This is my first time posting, but this is ignorance at its best...Whether she's adopted or not, a bi-racial woman and white male CAN produce a blue eyed, blonde haired child. I am as chocolate as they come and have a white husband. If anyone saw my children w/o me, you would never know they had a drop of black in them. Everywhere I go people look cross-eyed at us and swear the kids are from another relationship. If it weren't for them looking just like me, but with their fathers skin, no one would believe they are mine...sadly, the biggest population that shows prejudice to my kids are black women...and I'm a black woman.
IT ACTUALLY IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR THE WHITE GENES TO BE DOMINANT. LAST WEEKEND I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THAT. I CAME ACROSS HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY HAVE TWINS AND ONE LOOK BLACK AND THE OTHER LOOK WHITE. SINCE HER MOM IS MIXED HERSELF SHE ALREADY CARRIES THE WHITE GENE, AND SINCE HER DAD IS WHITE AS WELL THERE WAS HIGHER CHANCE FOR THAT GENE TO BE THE ONE THAT WAS USED IN HER CHEMICAL MAKEUP
For all of you who think she's adopted (she's not) ask yourself when was the last time someone black in this country was allowed to adopt a white kid? Never! Victoria was in Jet with her daughter when the girl was about 4 or 5 and she looked like her mom then. Now she must have grown up to resemble her dad more.
I remember Victori Rowell from when she 1st started working on The Young and the Restless. This girl is her bio-daughter. She did an interview and talked about when she had her in te hospital, a nurse did not want to give the baby to her b/c she looked completely white. Victoria said she yelled at the woman to give her her baby. People who think the kid is adopted...you're wrong.
I had to stop reading these comments because I was absolutely horrified by the ignorance of people, especially black people. Is it really science fiction to believe that a light skinned or mixed black person who has a child with a white person (Irish at that, very fair skinned), can have a white looking child? Why is that so incredible? My goodness, she has to be adopted!What shade should her daughter be, and what kind of hair should she have so no one would question this woman if this child is hers? Actually her son is way darker than her but I'm sure no one thinks twice about that. Hypocrites.
The mixed thing can go either way. I say that when the mom is black and the dad is white, a lot of the time the children tend to look more black, i.e Tia & Tamara Morry. But Vicky's not all black, she's mixed so the dominant genes took over.
I've been a Vicky fan forever and have read many things on her and she's never said that that child was adopted. That's her biological child.
I PUT THIS CHALLENGE OUT TO ALL WHO READ AND SAY THIS GIRL IS ADOPTED. I CAN FIND A MANY A WEBSITES WHERE THIS WOMAN SAYS SHE HAD THIS BABY AND IT'S HER'S AND POST LINKS LEADING TO THEM CAN YOU FIND ANY THAT SAYS SHE IS ADOPTED? I CAN FIND A MANY A WEBSITES ABOUT THE INCIDENT WITH THE NURSE MAKING HER MAD ABOUT NOT GIVING HER BABY TOO HER THINKING THE BABY WAS NOT HERS, CAN YOU FIND WEBSITES AND LINKS TO CONTRADICT IT? EVERYONE HERE SWEARS THEY HAVE THE FACTS YET NO ONE HAS POSTED ANY LINKS TO SHOW SOMETHING BUT ME. THE GIRL IS NOT ADOPTED, NOR IS THE SON. THE MAYA FAHEY IS HER NAME AND HIS NAME IS JASPER MARSALIS. JEFF FAHEY IS HER FATHER AND WYNTON MARSALIS IS THE BOYS FATHER. FIND A WEBSITE THAT SAYS DIFFERENT AND POST THE LINK
Oh yes she is her daughter! I remember when Drucila (Victoria Rowell) was fairly new to the young and the restless, and a she was interviewed by one of those soap opera magazines and Maya was there young and bi-racial. They also showed a picture of Maya's dad, whom is Victoria's ex- husband. That is in fact her REAL biological daughter. Keep in mind that Victoria is bi-racial. So if she's 1/2 black and Maya's father is 100% white, that makes her "passing for white."
SuthernFem - Lol I found that funny. I'm biracial my mom is black and dad is white and people always looked crossed eyed at us too. I never understood it when I was little because people were just people. And they were just my parents. I'm light and bright, blue eyed but I have black hair not blond. And people used to always think I was just white when I was little and if I wasn't with my mother they would have never guessed it either. One time I was acting up in a store and my mom had to drag me out and a white couple asked her if everything was OK!! They must have thought she was kidnapping me! LOL!
But anyway that is HER REAL DAUGHTER! Ignorant fools. Anything 75% compared to 25% will look more like the 75%. Just like if she was 75% black and 25% white - SHE WOULD LOOK MORE BLACK THAN WHITE! Dumb asses. No wonder so many of yall be on Maury telling some guy that that baby is his when the child don't look sh!t like him! Go back to High School science class.
wow! some of ya need to learn about DNA for real my mother is just like Victoria Rowell's daughter 75% white and 25% black and she passes for white im 50% black and white and i could pass for both but i pass myself off as black because im proud that's just the way it is some mixed people can come out light or dark for example Thandie Newton's children look like Victoria's daughter and wait till you see Halle Berry's little girl
My nieces and nephews are going to pass off as being biracial. They not gonna choose 1 side. They are going to except being both white & black because thats what they are and they will be proud of that! I'm multiracial and thats how I except myself. I'm not ashamed of being mixed with 4 different races.
If anybody knew any background about the actress Victoria then they wouldn't post comments like they have. Victoria has one black parent and white parent then her first daughter was by a white man and the othe a black. Just like Halle Berry having one black parent and one white and with her first child is by a white man. People love to open they mouth on [EXPLETIVE] like they know some [EXPLETIVE].
I can't believe the ignorance of most comments here! Victoria Rowell is in all likelihood NOT 50% Black! You're "one-dropping" her if you say that. The average "Blackness" of a "Black" person in the US is 70%-80%. So if Victoria's father was "average", then she herself would be 35%-40% Black, which would make her daughter Maya 17%-20% Black, 80% White. However, it is totally possible that Victoria's father (Maya's grandfather) was below the average, let's say 60% Black. That would mean that Maya is 15% Black, 85% White. What do you expect someone who is 85% White to look like?!
I come from a mixed race family ,I have 11+ cousins who look white,I am a certified [by dna] Quadroon 30% black,few realise I have african ancestry.
You must understand ONE THING that african americans have a minimum 20% euro ancestry already in them.Check 23andme.com AA samples,henry louis gates = 50% euro,black as black Roy king was 51%! there is a hell of alot of latent white blood in AA's.Only a TINY amt of your dna codes for your appearence so you can't see it in your faces.But the alleles are ALL there waiting to be expressed IF aligned with a white person who also has them.Victoria's dad is an extra 20%+ white ancestry on that girls dna.It was'nt expressed in victoria physically as much, but the recombination which is random with mr fahey caused all the white alelles to team up and so expressed.I can still see her black blood in her mouth and rounded off face she looks indentical to my mixed dad.

Meanwhile, in 1989, Rowell married Tom Fahey, an airline pilot. Shortly before the birth of their daughter, Maya, Rowell and Fahey divorced. Their blonde, blue-eyed daughter--Fahey is white--has caused many an uncomfortable moment when strangers insist she cannot be Rowell's daughter. The nurse in the hospital infuriated Rowell by not giving her the baby until she had checked and rechecked the wrist band identification. Being the daughter of a mixed couple herself, Rowell is careful to teach Maya about all of her heritage. When asked her color, Maya responds, "black and white." That's another problem with the foster care system, according to Rowell. At two and a half she was uprooted from the care of a white family because the system felt it would be better for her to grow up in a black family, even though she was just as much white as black.
Victoria Rowell was born in Portland, Maine, in the early 1960s. Her mother, Dorothy Rowell, a white woman; Rowell's father, a man named Wilson, was black. She never knew him. It is unclear why Dorothy gave Victoria up after 16 days; however, it has been suggested that it was due to pressure from her white family. At first Rowell went to live with a white foster family, but was removed from the home to join a black family when she was two and a half. Robert and Agatha Armstead, whom Rowell came to consider as her own family, had also taken in Rowell's two older sisters, Sheree and Lori. Rowell was unaware of the existence of her three half brothers until she was a teenager. They were the products of two other fathers and had been raised by their dads.

Russia, Chechens, Armenians, and other Southern Russians are considered to have Black Negro origins and CAUCASUS MOUNTAINS PEOPLE ARE CLASSIFIED AS 'BLACK,' AND ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. The fact is, BLACKS HAVE LIVED IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA SINCE PREHISTORIC TIMES AND HAVE OCCUPIED THE BLACK SEA REGION SINCE THE TIME OF Senwosret/Sesostris (2000 BC) WHEN AFRICANS DOMINATED THE REGION (SEE 'HERODOTUS' ON THE COLCHIANS).
