Mom gives birth to black and white twin boys even though both parents are black

After welcoming a beautiful daughter into the world, Stacy, and Babajide of Lagos, Nigeria decided to expand their family.

So when they found out they were pregnant again, they were overjoyed to learn that they would be expecting twin boys!

When the 31-year-old mother had a cesarean section, she was overjoyed to know that her baby boys, Daniel and David Omirin, were on their way.

Stacy and Babajide were surprised when their sons arrived.

Except for their gorgeous big brown eyes, the twins arrived mere minutes apart and looked nothing like each other.

“It was a massive surprise.”

Daniel, like their five-year-old sister Demilade, has dark skin and black curly hair. While David has golden curls and fair skin.

Neither of the parents is white.

“We did not know about their differences while I was pregnant. The scan did not show such, so it was a huge surprise and the most amazing moment when the first twin (Daniel) came out with black hair and the second twin (David) came out with gold hair. I had them through CS, so the doctors were like, ‘It seems you are having totally unidentical twins.’ Before I knew it, nurses started coming out to look at them,” Stacy shared with Bored Panda.

Stacy fell in love right away, but she wasn’t sure how Babajide would react.

“Their dad was really overwhelmed and immediately named My Twin 2 (David) ‘Golden,’ so he fondly calls him Mr. Golden. He was all overjoyed seeing his boys. He stood for more than 10 minutes staring at them and said he was just looking at God’s wonderful work and that they are his best gift ever.”

Albinism is a genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin.

This is the pigment found in the skin, hair, and eyes. It has no regard for gender or race and can affect anyone.

Albinism affects approximately one in every 18,000 to 20,000 people in the United States. In other parts of the world, the occurrence rate can reach one in 3,000.

David has Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA), which led to his fair skin and golden curls.

Some people with albinism may experience health issues, particularly eye problems.

David is fortunate to be free of such concerns.

According to statistics, albinism in Nigeria is among the highest in the world. With over two million albinos living in the country, they are frequently discriminated against and bullied.

Thankfully, Stacy has never experienced a belittling remark about her sons.

“There’re always side talks whenever we go out, people often wanna know how and what’s happening and maybe due to their cute and adorable nature, you just wanna come close to say hello.”

The family has been contacted about the boys’ modeling because they are stunning.

Stacy made an Instagram account so that others could learn more about David’s albinism and follow the boys’ development.

“We opened an account for them because we believe they have a story to tell to the world and also as a way of creating awareness.”

The boys are twins, but they are not identical.

Daniel is more expressive, whereas David prefers to sit back and observe his surroundings. Daniel eats his food quickly, while David is pickier. But they’re both energetic, loving little boys.

“They are so adorable and it felt like we had been given a miracle.”

Stacy is a clothing designer and while the boys are always dressed nicely, she is frequently asked if both boys are hers.

The boys only know how much they love each other and consider themselves to be the best of friends.

Even though racial disparities are a major concern, Stacy has never received any negative feedback

“It doesn’t matter to me what color their skin is because they are my babies. All that matters is that I have my boys.”

Aren’t these two brothers adorable? The color of their skin will always stand out to those they meet.

But it is the character they each develop as a result of their loving family that is most important.
