The black mother was surprised when she gave birth to a white boy

When I first saw my newborn baby, Catherine Howarth, a Nigerian black mother, said that the midwife had mistaken the baby of another person, not her child, because the boy had a complexion. all white.

The boy was born at Milton Keynes Hospital, Buckinghamshire (England) on June 1. Although baby Jonah has a white father, according to the doctors, the ability for the boy to have white skin is extremely low, only about 1 / 1,000,000.

His mother is not the only one surprised by this miracle.'The midwife looked at me, then looked down at the baby, then looked at me again and unbelievably , " said Catherine, 32, who said. " The doctors have confirmed that this is a very rare case. meet".

Catherine's husband, Richard, 34, a medical recruitment consultant, is no less surprised.'When I first saw Jonah, I felt extremely happy and relieved because it was born healthy. Jonah's skin was very pale, due to the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck when he was born, but after a few hours, Jonah's cheeks were rosy. Catherine and I noticed that her skin color was similar to my skin color. The midwife and doctors say it is likely that Jonah will keep this skin color. "

Catherine said: 'Some children have darker skin color after a few weeks, and gradually get the dark skin color that they will wear on them for life. You can foresee the color of the skin on the baby's ear. We realize that baby Jonah is completely a white baby ".

Doctors say the boy is not albino, and cases like this are extremely rare."They have just discovered two similar cases recently, both in the US," Catherine said.

In 2010, baby Nmachi Ihegboro was also born with white skin, although her parents were all black. 9 years ago, another couple of skin-colored Kylie Hodgson, 27 years old and Remi Horder, 25 years old from Nottingham also had twin daughters, a black and a white.
