British Nmachi Ihegboro has amazed genetics experts who say the little girl is NOT an albino.
Dad Ben, 44, a customer services adviser, admitted: "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her."
Mum Angela, 35, of Woolwich, South London, beamed as she said: "She's beautiful - a miracle baby."
Ben told yesterday how he was so shocked when Nmachi was born, he even joked: "Is she MINE?"
He added: "Actually, the first thing I did was look at her and say, 'What the flip?'"
But as the baby's older brother and sister - both black - crowded round the "little miracle" at their home in South London, Ben declared: "Of course she's mine."
Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means "Beauty of God" in the Nigerian couple's homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.
Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.
Ben also stressed: "My wife is true to me. Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that.
"We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages - not saying anything."

We both also have grandparents who had very Caucasoid features.
This story is something entirely different.
Some where in that hospital is a white couple, that is pondering the birth of their black baby.
“A BLACK couple coo over their new baby yesterday - a white, blue-eyed BLONDE.
There is NO WAY that this was THEIR baby.
She must have been a surogate mother.
Bush’s fault
I was just about to repost the link in clickable form. You beat me to it.
Thanks.
Also, I couldn’t hotlink the photos from TheSun, so folks’ll have to click through to see ‘em.
LOL!! You’re probably right!
“Some where in that hospital is a white couple, that is pondering the birth of their black baby.”
Yes, that’s more like it ... .
A DNA test could establish the factuality of that.
They should have named her Nam Liam after her father.
Witty! Naughty; but witty!
Well now we know - blacks who discriminate against whites discriminate against their own offspring, and vis versa! LOL
I guess we all children of God, our Creator.
There is an alligator named Marty at the West Palm Beach zoo. He is not an albino and is pure white with blue eyes. Genetics can get very complicated I guess.
I remember some years back a white mom and black dad had twins. One was white and the other was black. I guess anything is possible. Not anywhere near the same story but a friend of mine has four bio-children: one blonde, one black hair, one red hair and one brunette. She jokes that she has one of every type.
cracker in the woodpile?
I wish them well with their beautiful child.
Apparently, this wasn't a case of the nurses mixing up newborns in the nursery.
