Our blue-eyed and blonde-haired gift from God
Mail Online ^ | July 31, 2010 | Jenny Johnston

Like any expectant mum, Angela Ihegboro spent many hours wondering what her new baby would look like. She made no secret of the fact that she hoped the little girl would turn out to be 'just a mini version of me'.

'We used to joke about it,' she says, rolling her eyes as she looks at her husband Benjamin. 'We have two children already and they are both the spitting image of their father. We found out at a scan that this baby was a girl, and all through the pregnancy I'd say: "it is my turn now. This one is going to look exactly like me." '

To say that didn't quite happen is an understatement. in fact, the tiny little scrap lying in her arms today could hardly look less like her mother. Or her father, for that matter.

Both Angela and Ben are black, of Nigerian stock, with dark brown eyes and dark hair.

Little Nmachi, who is just two weeks old, is about as white as you can get - and with piercing blue eyes and a shock of the blondest hair to boot. And no, she isn't albino.

Those friends and relatives popping in to welcome the new arrival can be forgiven for hesitating over that traditional conversation: Who does she look like? in truth, the only name that comes to mind when you look at the little girl is Boris Johnson (although it hardly needs pointing out that the distinctive features are a million times cuter in a baby girl).

So the roommate turns it inside out and uses it.

Apparently he was in such a hurry he didn't rinse it off first.

Girl gets pregnant.

I read that sperm can survive 3-5 days after ejaculation--is this true? If so, the story has credibility.

We're all a part of the HUMAN RACE. Skin color is an environmental function. Been to Alaska and Greenalnd and seen the Eskimo in his natural environment.

A friend who is an anthropologist and well traveled says the same thing. He's been to the headwaters of the Amazon and while customs may vary from tribe to tribe skin color is not an issue.

He's traveled in Nepal chronicling various tribal customs because the king wanted to document his country's cultural history and in this case customs varied from the lowlands to the heights of the Himalaya mountain but skin color is not an issue.

nuf said!

I heard one time that all Caucasian babies are born with blue eyes, which later change to their permanent color.

Same with kittens.

I thought that was an urban legend.

Has Snopes.com got an opinion on it?

No, not true. And you can't get pregnant from sitting on a public toilet seat either, another rumor.

Not an urban legend. Not “friend of a friend’s cousin.”

I know the attorney.

3 to 5 days is irrelevant...the condom was re-used inside of 3 to 5 minutes.

‘That being said, this is a nice story and the parents seem wonderful...crediting God for their miracle.’

I totally agree! I wish them all the best!

sperm can survive five days in the right environment - i.e. the vagina in the fertile days preceding ovulation. Their life expectancy on a discarded condom at room temp - guessing a few hours, max. But just a guess.

so if the girl never slept with the guy, why would she think to sue HIM for child support, and run the paternity test on him? Why would a court order him to take the paternity test if by her admission, he never had intercourse with her?

I am curious, why did you post this?

Why would you say this? It's in the article

Why would Black people have Albino kids? Why would black people have genes that occasionally kick out an albino kid?

Duh! back at you. Why did you post this thread? It appears that you posted this to garner racist comments.
I may be wrong, if so, sorry, but I don't see the point in posting this on a conservative forum.

Why can't we discuss this? What is a racist comment, something you do not like? Are you trying to make an issue out of a perceived issue that you are afraid to discuss. If the gods on high do not like the thread and its content the Zot happens, grow up.

No one forced you to read it, and since when do I have to ask you what I can post or not?

News Flash for you. I had asked the Admin moderator to remove 2 posts, which I found offensive. The moderator choose to ignore it

Albinism is a genetic mutation that occurs in people of all races. Simply put, it's a total absence of melanin in the body.
