He is so adorable. I totally want to hug him.

well, i hope i haven't spoken out of turn and not confused.

My gymmie knew he was adopted so it doesn't seem to be a secret. May just be the family doesn't talk about it much. My gymmie thought it was pretty cool since she's adopted.

yes. and i only posted because i know what Gymdog was talking about being all different stories, untruths and inaccuracies posted in the internet world and only felt compelled to set it straight as John is not here (yet) to do it himself.

His parents look Puerto Rican I guess, but they are very light. However, John looks so dark, is he adopted?

There are many other possibilities:
In genetics human skin color is part of "incomplete dominance" like paint mixtures of red and white= pink. Incomplete means that there are variations when mixing the two which is not consistent.

John Orozco has a skin pigment of 29-36, which is also influenced by his environment (exposure to the sun).
Possibilities:
1. Mother or father could have Africa-American genes, in their ancestry.
2. Either parent was previously married to someone who is African-American.

I am not convinced that John is adopted yet, because there has been no evidence. I feel that items 1 or 2, is more likely.

In Punnett Square it would read like this: Mother carried Black gene, Father doesn't:
XBXb + Father XY = XBX, XBY, XbX, XbY
Means that (2) children would have very dark pigment, and (2) would have lighter pigment.

I know this is an old post but it is relevant to anyone interested in the topic.


From John Orozco's facebook page today

"In my book the REAL parents are the ones who raise, love, & care for you. Simply birthing a child does't make you their REAL parent. The people who love you & will always be there for you are your REAL family."

For the record, I did believe you Dunno!

thank you. but now i feel kinda bad for posting up something that i thought everyone knew. next time a bit more discretion on my part will be in order.

Having friends with adopted children, I appreciated what he wrote. I think lots of people knew, but its like talking about a woman 8 months pregnant. Its never acknowledged until the person publically acknowledges it no matter how many people knew. I'm sure he talked about it in gym circles but he never found it necessary to share with the public.
