In our case it is exactly true. The only reason DD's bparents went into our full online profile was because they thought DD looked so much like DH.
They opened the full profile, read about us, and the rest is history.
DD really does look like DH. They are both fair with blue eyes. Both turn white-blond in the summer and tan beautifully.
More than that though, DD has the same off center dimple in her chin, the same cheekbones and the same face shape as DH. From day one, they have also slept in the same position. I have a picture of DH and DD in the recliner together when DD was three days old. Both have their heads turned to the left with their right arm thrown up over their heads. That's how they always sleep.
So to the OP, we get that DD looks like DH ALL the time. I occasionally hear that she has my nose or smile, but that's about it.
