That's answered by SRII, page 34 IIRC. Basically when a metahuman is
involved, the child will usually be metahuman as well (i.e. elf + human =
elf); with two metahumans, it's about 50/50 (elf + dwarf = elf or dwarf)
unless one of them is an ork or troll, in which case that metatype is most
likely (elf + ork = ork; ork + troll = ork or troll).

In your example, it'd most likely be a troll child, although I can see a lack of
space developing pretty fast before the kid is born...

After birth (which probably happens much too soon), I have a feeling this
child will grow up as a human and goblinize around age 12.
