This might be a stretch but my husband has gren eyes and I would really like to try my best to continue this. I have blue/grey eyes. What eye color should I look for in a donor? Blue, Green or brown eyes? Thanks for the help :)

Our son came out with orange hair - it is turning more golded, maybe golden brown....but he is fair skinned also. The donor is half irish but only one person in the family that ccb provided info on had red hair.
Like I said, you can't pick everything but good luck!
That is very funny, I was simply looking for the genetic idea, but as you said, there is no way to predict the Donors family history as well. Thanks.
There is no way to predict eye color. From the Genetic FAQs http://www.cryobank.com/Services/Genetic-Counseling/Genetics-FAQs/#answerEyeColor:
Can a baby's eye color and hair color be predicted?
No. The color of a person's eyes is thought to be the result of the interaction of several different genes. The amount of pigment and its distribution in the eye determines whether a person has brown, hazel, green or blue eyes. The common belief that blue eye color, for example, behaves as "recessive" to brown eye color is not strictly true. There are many families in which both parents have blue eyes, but their children have brown eyes. The opposite can occur as well. Hair color is inherited in a similar manner to eye color, with many different genes involved. There is no genetic testing that can be done to predict or select the eye or hair color of children. The chance of having a child with a particular eye or hair color cannot be estimated by knowing the eye and hair color of the parents or other family members, as the genetic aspects of both traits in humans is poorly understood.
Good luck,

Whatever it will be will be a miracle anyway :)
