Black Couple Surprised When Newborn Daughter is White

I'm guessing the mother isn't quite as surprised as the father. Besides, a DNA test for both parents will clear this up immediately. It just sounds strange to me that the father would be reluctant to take the test, which he was for a very long time because he insisted his wife was faithful. Anywho, a red-haired, blue eyed baby? I would have been surprised if my White baby had been born with red hair & blue eyes, but I would have just loved it to bits, like the mother in this story loves her daughter to pieces.

My mother's great x5 grandmother is black. My mother is medium skinned and blue eyed with dark hair. Her four sisters are dark skinned and brown eyed with dark hair. Out of my five siblings, one has brown eyes, black hair and dark skin. Four have medium brown hair, medium skin and blue eyes. I have extremely light skin, dark hair and green eyes. We have no clue whatsoever where my green eyes came from - not even my cousins have green eyes. A genetic trait can hide for generations, then come from out of nowhere. You carry four traits in your own genes, and your partner has four - that's eight possibilities that can come out anywhere in the tree.

My friend's boyfriend was "black".....his parents were black as were his ancestors, but he had this exact coloring including the curly blonde hair. There was a term called "high yellow", which is what they told him he was. I have no idea what that means, but he said it meant he was a "white black" for unknown reasons.

There doesn't need to be white anscestry for this to happen. As someone said earlier, white people did have an origin, so did blue eyed people; there was a time neither blondes nor blue-eyeds existed.

People, please stop bickering. It really doesn't matter what color the child is as long as she is healthy. We are all pink underneath our skin and have red blood running through our veins and our minds (souls) are colorless. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter. Focus your energies on something more productive like practicing love, compassion and patience to make this world a better place. Namaste.

I had blond hair when i was born which then turned red and I have brown eyes. my husband has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Both of us are on the shorter side. i am only 5 ft, my husband is 5'9' . Along comes my son who has blond hair, bright BLUE eyes and is 9 and almost as tall as me so far. They say that brown is usually the more dominate color but my father had blue eyes where my mom had brown. My husbands mom had blue eyes and his dad had hazel so there were blue eyes in both families somewhere. We both also have very tall people in our family , we just didnt get much of it :) but as my son was growing up people would look at him and comment on his bright blue almost turquise eyes and then look at me and then look at me husband and they would say ok where did he get the eyes from. My husband always laughed and said the milk man. My son actually has his paternal grandmothers eyes.

I go for Occam's Razor: She had sex with a white guy.

Someone needs to go back to school and refresh on the dominant and recesive gene lesson.

Nature`s way of evolving. It is proof.

I am more shocked by the blond then the skin color, you can tell by that baby's skin color that she will get darker, she looks like a white, not pink. Most people who grow up white are born pink. She will grow up to be a light skinned black person.

It is a miracle from God to tell the world He is sick of all the infighting about color, and whose color makes them "special"! We ALL come from Adam and Eve and we are all from the same family matrix! OPEN YOUR EYES! STOP BEING PREJUDICE! GOD LOVES ALL OF US AND THINKS WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!

The truth is it is an albino! let's be honest! There is a black albino who works with me that looks just like this baby- This ame couple and story has been out before and most Gentic Dr have said as much!
Just one guy trying to stir up nonsense!
Let's stop BS to make a headline- this is an albino.
There are TONS of albino children in Africa most fathers refuse to accept them thinking their wife cheated with a white guy- they have to hide since they will be Killed by witch Dr's who think they are magic- They use the bones to make Magic powders it is sick!
Look it up online many news storys about it online or even youtube
I think CNN did a report as well
Some one should try to stop that killing
Where are the stars to help those albinos??
Very sad but true

When I was a young adult, my Dad sat at the head of our dinner table and said to my Mom: "Well, June, I just don't know". They both laughed. One brother has black hair, pale skin and dark brown eyes. The second brother is a blue-eyed golden blond. My sister is a snow-white, green-eyed red head, I am an auburn-haired, mahogany-eyed freckled Black Irish. Every one of us has exactly the same face. My mother was an ice-cold Baptist, who never left the house. Any offers of explanations?

Queen darling, you are the ignorant one.
in my family all the dark hair brown eyed gave birth to blond blue eyed children.
the blonds have brown hair dark skin brown eyed children so your theory is totally wrong or you didn't understand what you read!!!

I find it sad that we still live in a world focused on race. Race. Why is this making such big news? I find all this sad.

She is a pretty little girl and the only thing that matters is that she's healthy and grows up happy. You can tell that she is clearly not albino and she's obviously not white either. She's a little yellow looking, usually white babies have peachy pink tone.

I see a black child with pale skin, light eyes and blond hair.I grew up in the Caribbean where "mixing" is common and results like this are not unusual. I had blond hair, blue eyed classmates who you would assume were white until you met their parents and either one of them was black and the other white or both were mixed.

I myself am a mutt (black, east indian, french, scottish, etc), my child's father is hispanic and when they brought her to me in the hospital i thought they had brought me the wrong baby because she looked so white LOL. When you have a child you never know what you're going to get, all you can hope for is a healthy baby :0)

If I was the parents I would be very worried about the possibility of my baby being switched with some other baby that was just born. That's a lot more common than genetic mutations as this article seems to be claiming. I would want a DNA test just to be sure. I'm also not taking anything away from the mother who says she knows it's hers... I'm just telling you, it happens!
