Doctors confirmed that their daughter did not have albinism but they could not explain definitively why she was born with pale skin, blue eyes and blond hair. They had a few genetic theories on how it could be possible but none were conclusive. Miracles do happen! Ladies, what would you do if you gave birth to a child who appeared to be of a different race? What do you think your husband would do? Nature is truly a mystery. #Resilience!<\/p>\n<p>Posted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/DrJamesMakamba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dr James Makamba<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, February 13, 2017<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The first theory was based on the idea that Nmachi had a gene mutation completely unique to her. If that\u2019s the case, she could pass said gene on to her own children, who would also be white.<\/p>\n<p>Another theory was that either Angela and Ben have dormant white genes passed down from their ancestors, and that they simply hadn\u2019t surfaced for generations until Nmachi\u2019s birth. Doctors reportedly suggested that the parents could harbor long-dormant Caucasian DNA from an interracial coupling somewhere in their history.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the third possibility that was presented to Angela and Ben: that Nmachi might have a mutated variant of albinism. If this is the case, her skin may darken over time, though her father wasn\u2019t convinced about this theory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-inline-featured-image wp-caption alignnone\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-main-thumbnail size-main-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/04\/13070306\/Afam-664x350.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/04\/13070306\/Afam-664x350.jpg 664w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/04\/13070306\/Afam-400x210.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/04\/13070306\/Afam-412x216.jpg 412w\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"350\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>We all dream and wonder over what our babies will look like before they get here.

Doctors confirmed that their daughter did not have albinism but they could not explain definitively why she was born with pale skin, blue eyes and blond hair. They had a few genetic theories on how it could be possible but none were conclusive. Miracles do happen! Ladies, what would you do if you gave birth to a child who appeared to be of a different race? What do you think your husband would do? Nature is truly a mystery. #Resilience!<\/p>\n<p>Posted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/DrJamesMakamba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dr James Makamba<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, February 13, 2017<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The first theory was based on the idea that Nmachi had a gene mutation completely unique to her. If that\u2019s the case, she could pass said gene on to her own children, who would also be white.<\/p>\n<p>Another theory was that either Angela and Ben have dormant white genes passed down from their ancestors, and that they simply hadn\u2019t surfaced for generations until Nmachi\u2019s birth. Doctors reportedly suggested that the parents could harbor long-dormant Caucasian DNA from an interracial coupling somewhere in their history.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the third possibility that was presented to Angela and Ben: that Nmachi might have a mutated variant of albinism. If this is the case, her skin may darken over time, though her father wasn\u2019t convinced about this theory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-1520717429\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\">\n<div id=\"ad-modul_intext_123351_2\" class=\"ad-space\" data-google-query-id=\"CKLc7LLnlowDFVvZOwIdVuUtxQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/125128856\/en_newsner_com\/modul_1__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/125128856\/en_newsner_com\/modul_1\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/125128856\/en_newsner_com\/modul_1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"7\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-ecad6699ee4294e45fe7dc5b9f44bfc0\" class=\"newsner-ecad6699ee4294e45fe7dc5b9f44bfc0 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t look like an albino child anyway,\u201d Ben said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot like the ones I have seen back in Nigeria or in books.
