Black parents give birth to white baby


View media item 1422899

When Angela Ihegboro first saw her newborn daughter, she was “speechless.”

“She’s a miracle baby,” the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. “But still, what on Earth happened here?”

What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blond, blue-eyed white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.

“The first thing I said was, ‘What the flip?’ ” said the father, Ben Ihegboro. “We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages — not saying anything.”

He quickly sought to dispel any speculation.

“Of course she is mine. My wife is true to me,” the 44-year-old customer service adviser said. “Even if she hadn’t been, the baby still wouldn’t look like that.”

Genetics experts don’t believe in miracles, but they didn’t have any simple answers to the mystery of baby Nmachi. Instead, they offered three theories:

She’s the result of a gene mutation unique to her. If that is the case, Nmachi would pass the gene to her children — and they, too, would likely be white.

She’s the product of long-dormant white genes, passed on to her by her parents, that might have been carried by their predecessors for generations without surfacing until now.

While doctors have said Nmachi is not an outright albino, or lacking in all pigment, they added that the child may have some kind of mutated version of the genetic condition — and that her skin could darken over time.


Here is the article from the NYPost

this is physically possible, you know

White people are descendants of Black Africans. So of course Blacks have the "capability" of giving birth to a white colored child. However, it's not the same way vice versa. Fax, B
 
I would imagine this wouldn't be a story if they hadn't already done DNA for the father.
 
Stuff like this has happened before. Down to the wavy blond white ppl hair. They can be biological parents and can have a white child and it not be some vitiligo case.

Of course you gotta wait after DNA test, doctor tampering with her pregnancy/inseminating her, etc.

:lol: @ all the white/gold, blue/black jokes.
Clearly it's not his kid.
Even if that were the case. The mom is as black as her husband. Baby wouldn't come out looking that white.

Perhaps that changes in a few months though.

genetically possible...although rare a double recessive allele accounting for pigment can result in a mutation like this

even if it wasn't his kid the baby should still have some black features since the mom is black, right?

I think it has to do with genes.
 
Both of them look so unsure in that picture.
