In my daughter's lifebook, my birthfather page actually had a picture of my daughter looking into the mirror. Like you, we had a lot of information on the birthmother but only a name to put on the birthfather page. So, I used the birthfather page as an opportunity to talk about genetics and inherited traits. In the text on that page I ask my daughter if she thinks she got "this trait" or "that trait" from her birthfather and explain to her that the way she looks today and the way she will look in the future is impacted by the way her birthfather (and mother) look themselves.

I scanned some sample layouts. If you'd like to contact me privately, I'd be happy to share them with you.
