Sorry, I’ve seen the pictures..she’s albino.
So has anyone confirmed that Ben is the father?
That being said, this is a nice story and the parents seem wonderful...crediting God for their miracle.
I agree
A cracker by any other name....
The problem with that is the fact that albinos don’t have blue eyes.
No she is not. Read the article
Pink. And their vision is 20% that of normal, if I’m remembering correctly. I think Edgar Winter is an Albino.
Cracker in the woodpile?
White Baby Born to Black Parents to Have Full Genetic Test
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,597164,00.html
Doctors say baby Nmachi Ihegboro, who has blond hair and blue eyes, is not an albino and attribute her appearance to an unknown genetic mutation.
Parents Ben and Angela Ihegboro, from London, are also trying to discover whether they have any white ancestry to explain the mystery surrounding their new daughter.
The couple believes there are no white relatives on either side of their Nigerian families that could have led to Nmachi’s skin color.
But Ben’s mother Amebo, 70, does have blue eyes.
Ben and Angela agreed to let experts study Nmachi as geneticist Dr. Mark Thomas, of University College, London, said the odds of the baby’s white coloring were “between many millions to one and a million to one”.
Excerpted. Read more at link.
It’s a sign, next time vote for a white guy.
LOL!
I don’t know how it is with albinos but some babies are born with blue eyes that darken as they get older.
Ugh, what an awful way to phrase it, like a cattle breed or something.
I had an albino friend in junior high, she was red haired with blue eyes. I remember that she had to be very careful about the sun.
I am curious, why did you post this?

Although Ben says he is '100 per cent sure' the child is his, he says he is still considering a DNA test.
'I do think I will probably have a DNA test. Not to prove anything to me - I know my wife and I trust her 100 per cent - but to make a point to other people.'
Is Angela hurt at the accusations being hurled in her direction?
'Of course. It's confusing because I know the truth. I am loyal to my husband. I would never be with another man. But the thing is that people even doubt that she came out of me - but of course she did.'

I heard one time that all Caucasian babies are born with blue eyes, which later change to their permanent color
True story: a divorce attorney friend of mine gets a paternity suit.
Guy says that he never slept with the girl.
Girl says that she never slept with the guy.
Kid looks like the guy, and the DNA test says that it’s the guy’s kid.
What happened? The guy has a male roommate who picked up the girl at a bar, brought her home for a quickie, and the only condom that he could find was a used condom in the trash.
So the roommate turns it inside out and uses it. Girl gets pregnant. Not the roommate’s kid, it’s the Guy who is being sued.
So the guy was telling the truth. He never did sleep with the girl. His roommate did...with his used condom.
He still got stuck paying thousands per month in child support because the kid was his.
Yikes
