Mother gives birth to black and white twin boys – but neither parent is white
The mom of three was initially concerned about David and how people would react to him – as well as being concerned about his health. The condition is associated with medical conditions like sensitivity to sunlight and eye problems. Fortunately, David hasn’t experienced any serious health issues.
According to some sources, more than two million people are living with Albinism in Nigeria. The World Health Organization estimates that one in 5,000 to one in 15,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa is born with Albinism.
In Europe and North America, one in 20,000 people have some form of albinism. Living with Albinism in Nigeria is not so easy. They are often discriminated against and questioned – but thankfully, this is not something Stacy has yet experienced.
As for today, the mother has created an Instagram account where people can learn more about the boys and watch them grow up.
The boys may be twins and best friends – but they are also different with their personalities and interests. Daniel loves food and is more outgoing. David likes to take a step back and observe his surroundings. But both boys are lovely and kind children.
“People say ”Excuse me madam, which one of the kids is yours?’ I just say both of them are mine and people look at me as if I am joking. But I was surprised too when they were born, even as their mum. When the doctor told me my kids are not identical I didn’t know what to expect. But then I saw they had different color hair and skin and I couldn’t believe it, so I’m not surprised other people are shocked, too.”
What a lovely story! It’s wonderful to read and see pictures of David and Daniel; they are really adorable.
And let’s not forget that what truly matters is what lies within – I’m sure the boys will grow up to be wonderful humans!
