momto2pandas Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Just curious - I remember, back in my days of research in psychiatry, this clustering of anorexia nervosa/anxiety disorder/autoimmune cases in families with Mediterranean background, e.g. Italian, Jewish, Greek, Armenian, etc. I know it's hard to get a read from a forum like this, but just curious if there is a lot of Mediterranean blood in this group. We're Italian and Armenian, here.
peglem Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 We're real American mutts here, but would guess from our coloring that we're mostly northern european.

thereishope Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Polish. Both my side and my husband's. Maybe a little Czech in there too, but not much.

Is it on Buster's side? (I hope I am not being too nosey) Nope, mine. Unfortunately our kids don't look asian (they are 1/4)....vs. other kids (like Jon and Kate plus eight's kids) who are 1/4 asian (korean) but those kids look closer to 1/2 asian to me.
