Wouldn't the baby be half human half Q?

I wish I had read this thread before putting my own up, because I just re-watched this episode and made the EXACT SAME POINT about it.
The writing was just not consistent within the episode itself. There is no excuse for that.
Q was likely making that statement on whatever general knowledge he had of future events-apparently humans will have a presence in the DQ in the late 25th century.
It's pretty clear neither Q nor Quinn were immediately aware of the caretaker-and the whole reason Q asked Quinn was becuase he thought it might have been Quinn interfering with the timeline-which wasn't the case. Once Quinn denied having sent voyager to the DQ Q seemed rather satisfied with that answer.
As for offering to send Voyager back-that wasn't about voyager being an anomaly-it was Q trying to get Janeway to give him a favorable verdict. Which wasn't something Janeway was going to do-accept a bribe no matter how much she or the crew wanted it.
The Q are not omniscient-they can be surprised or proven incorrect-Q is shown wrong more than once on TNG, in True Q he isn't sure whether or not Amanda q is entirely a Q, he is surprised when Sisko punches him in DS9, etc...
While Q may have a general knowledge of the timeline-hence humans a century henceforth in the DQ it's clear he didn't know all the details about voyager or why it was in the DQ.

That sounds like a Tom Paris line if ever there was one... except that he didn't have a real, vested interest in getting home.
Tom Paris: legit the guy who got called up by Tuvok to make him a holgraphic sexbot (of his wife).
They’re only at the Q level on ascension scale. The R’s and S’s are more powerful.
Of course you never want to mess with a Z.
Not exactly. Tom offered the idea to Tuvok. Tuvok was just trying to meditate
He and Janeway did have kids together!
He is still voyager's only certified sex bot manufacturer. Dirty Tom getting it done!
if making a hologram is your criteria for this then no....The Doctor created a hologram for Vorik in Blood Fever
But it didn't work! The doctor receives no sexbot certification.
we don't know if it worked or not because Vorik didn't use it.
Yes, and that was the whole point of Q's initial idea.
Here is part of Q and Janeway's conversation from "The Q and the Grey."

I wonder why Q wouldn't send them back home anyway? Maybe he knew they had destinies to fulfil and might have some positive effect on the Delta quadrant?

I think that you are right here.
Why WOULD he? The only reason he would make an offer is as a bargaining chip to get something HE wants.
Hardly the actions of a being near to Godhood though is it?

I hope not.
